    Biography: I've been taking photos since I was 14 years old when my father gave me a Kodak Retina camera. I came to a dead end some years ago with film. Then digital arrived and I was reborn. Now I take thousands of photos every year. Since I retired in 2005 I've been transforming myself into a painter. I love painting in oils and love using my photos as subjects for my paintings.

    Goals for 2007:
    Win at least one ribbon on DPC.
    Put on a one-woman show of my paintings.
    Sell at least three paintings and three photographs.
    Take at least one photograph that totally knocks my socks off.
    Become known as an artist.
    Signature: My favorite picture is the one I'm taking now.
