I first fell in love with the magic of photography using a Fisher Price 110 camera during a 3rd grade field trip. High school photography class further cemented this, allowing me to see the possibilities through alchemy and light. Changing career directions within the medium has allowed me to experience various aspects of photography, moving from photojournalism to studio work and into fine art. Now, I see how each part of those career paths influences what I create today, something I am grateful for.  

This is my 19th year of teaching photography at Spokane Falls Community College, my 4rd year at Whitworth University and am the current Photography Gallery Director at SFCC. Previously, I taught at the University of Memphis and with the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I am opening a community darkroom and studio later this year in Spokane, WA, where we will rent darkroom and studio space, and hold a variety of photo workshops. I have big plans so stay tuned! Please contact me to be put on an email list to share upcoming events!
