About Me

Thank you, I appreciate your visit to my website.

Throughout this website, I hope to provide my readers with useful and valuable information on landscape photography.

For more than four decades, I had the privilege of calling the Coastal Temperate rainforest in Southern Vancouver Island my home.

This breathtaking region has been a constant source of inspiration for my landscape photography, where I’ve had the opportunity to play with light and composition to capture the beauty of this unique ecosystem.

One of the things that I appreciate most about nature photography is its impact on our well-being. There’s something truly special about immersing ourselves in the natural world through imagery.

That’s why I love traveling to different locations around British Columbia, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and Alberta to capture the landscapes that are unique to each region. But of all the corners of the world, Cascadia remains my favorite for its diversity of terrains and natural wonders.

Recently, my husband and I relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, where we’re now surrounded by the stunning desert landscapes. This new setting presents challenges and opportunities to create images that showcase the unique beauty of this region. I’m excited to explore the desert and continue to push the boundaries of my craft for years to come.

In my photography journey, I embrace the transitional realm that exists between darkness and light.  I deliberately choose to use the absence of light as a crucial element in accentuating my subjects; a conscious visionary choice to convey the beauty that emerges from where the light comes in. It’s within this nuanced convergence of light and dark that I create. 

As I navigate landscapes, I’m guided simply by where the light comes in. This mantra embodies the essence of my work, reminding us that in darkness, we find light. It’s this intricate interaction that fuels my creativity, defining the fundamental style of my photography. 

I invite you to join me in places where the unseen is as powerful and captivating as the seen.  The liminal space that unfolds between the realms of darkness and the subtle emergence of light.  Where the absence of light is a canvas of mood, depth, character and adds a unique resonance to the photographic experience I hope to bring to my audience. 

The noir tones I emphasize bring with them feelings of isolation, discovery, or existential contemplation. The darkness evokes a feeling of the sublime, of venturing into a vast and perhaps overwhelming natural landscape.

Join me in exploring the idea that darkness is not to be feared, but embraced – where darkness is an integral part of the human experience. I hope to connect with you in the tranquil spaces where stories unfold and the landscape manifests where the light comes in.~
