For many years, my passion has been photography. As my career has progressed, so has my subject matter and approach. I adore photographing wildlife, in all forms, from the tiniest iceworm to the largest bear. as well as the ruins of historic architecture to preserve their beauty and history. Now, I've discovered a way to express myself in my art by combining components from previous pieces to create a surreal canvas, an enchanted world to fantasize about their possibilities. To take us away from our surroundings and into new regions of imagination. My art has been featured in numerous award-winning exhibits throughout New Jersey, and New York. My work has been available for purchase at The Medford Art Gallery. Photography is an intricate part of who I am. It allows an expression of the creative way I see the world through my lens, hoping to inspire others' lives.
As dragonflies appear to have mystical mythology surrounding them, observing them brings flights of fancy into our day when we happen to encounter one resting on a lovely flower.
A small angel pauses briefly as she walks beyond the threshold of heaven to enjoy the beauty she is about to enter.
A tiny chipmunk comes up to a unicorn and offers it a flower as a gesture of friendship.
A tiny hummingbird rests on some vivid colorful flowers as he enjoys his mid-afternoon break.
I shot this little hummingbird at rest among these beautiful flowers. After uploading and processing the image, I added a watercolor background to complete the peaceful feel of this image.
A delicate blue dragonfly lands on a soft deep pink rose petal.
I added an overlay of sparkling watercolor and brought the complete picture to the forefront to add the magical touch to this delightful encounter.
In a field of delicate pink flowers, a butterfly decides to rest and drink some sweet nectar.
I enjoy walking in nature and coming upon such beauty within it's landscape. It lightens my heart and lifts my spirits.
A darkened background frames the delicate beauty of this pink-petaled lotus flower, emerging with light and color.
A colorful reflection of a tree in Autumn as lily pads float upon the water, in this reflective pool. Bringing out a stained-glass effect adds to the vibrancy of this image.
As the sun sets one hot summer evening, it seems to almost be on fire with ablaze of color. Walking through the New Jersey Pine Barron's, as the summer sun was setting, it became ablaze with red, certainly a site to see! I continued through the marshes until the darkness engulfed me. Happy to capture such beauty!
A ghostly female likeness is superimposed on an image of a serene beach scene at twilight. The words "I'll meet you on the other side..." float above the oceanscape, suggesting a theme of parting or mourning.
A beautiful red fox in the snow. Foraging for food has left a bit of snow on his nose, while his soulful eyes look directly at the viewer.
A Gothic-looking image of a guarding angel, giving the image an old world.
A bright red cardinal flutters its wings to wash its feathers with the water of a quiet pond.
Two brightly colored starfish cling onto the rock surface under the salty sea water.
On a still, cold, snowy day, stood a small tree next to a small door in a wall. It gave me a feeling of loneliness. Cold as the soft snow fell, the quiet, surrounding me, was filled with a lovely peace, reminding me that we all need time to be alone with ourselves and nature.
On a beautiful summer afternoon, you come upon a magical realm, you see lovely flowers thriving as well as many species of animals living harmoniously together.
To fly free, above all the problems in the world, would be so wonderful. The dove is a symbol of freedom. She is holding a flower, which is a symbol of beauty. The beauty of flying above this world's difficulties and bringing freedom and beauty everywhere would be the utmost gift of happiness, ever granted.
Meet Snuggles, a friendly Cockatoo. He always greets everyone with a big "Hello". He is happy to have visitors and gets very excited!
Snuggles will get so happy when someone visits him! He will bob up and down to let you know you are a welcome guest.
I read that the life cycle of a dragonfly consists of three stages: the egg, the nymph, and the adult. Dragonflies undergo incomplete metamorphosis. The nymph stage can last up to five years in large species and between two months and three years in smaller species. When the nymph is ready to become an adult, it stops feeding, emerges from the water, and undergoes a process where it sheds its exoskeleton to become a fully formed adult dragonfly. When we are lucky enough to see a dragonfly pass our pathway, we are witnessing a beautiful creature and one who has come a long way to grace us with their beauty.
“Reflections of a life falling apart”
As life becomes tremendously complicated, we search for our place within the chaos. Who we once were, now begins to crumble, as we search for who we are becoming or need to become. As we progress in age, we continue to change and question what we once thought we knew. Who are we becoming, who will we become? Most people want to strive to be the best they can be, but will they make it? As long as we gaze into our reflection and continue to improve, we also continue to be true to ourselves and respect others as they strive to be true to themselves.
There is nothing left. I am empty. I find no reason to lift up my head. I see no beauty or reason for existence. Life is futile, meaningless, void of dreams, no hope left. Can you wake me from this nightmare? No, I thought not, it's not a nightmare, it's reality.
