As a scientist I am drawn to observe the world around me, constantly in awe of the dramatic colors nature provides. My scientific training pushes me to challenge the camera and my skills, to get the perfect shot, from low light conditions of a sunset or a sunrise, an active volcano or the power of the pounding waves. As a diver I enjoy sharing the wonders below the sea, majestic creatures both tiny and enormous. As a photographer I am still striving to achieve the perfect shot, which can never happen and that is the beauty of it.
Artist Bio
I grew up in Rochester, NY where my love of water started. Beginning with swim lessons at the local high school from the age of 5 to swimming in the Erie Canal, my interest in water continues. My passion for photography started in a dark room in 7th grade where art and science merged. I earned a B.S. in Material Science from Michigan State University and a Ph.D in Materials Science from North Carolina State University.
