Barge in the Moonlight
Biography
From Brownie cameras to cell phones, photography has long expressed ideas, emotions, and beauty beyond words. Today I use a cell phone because fleeting moments often allow only seconds to capture an image—and the phone is always at hand. Nature and architecture are my favorite subjects.
My photographs have appeared in a nature magazine, periodicals, weekly brochures, and on Facebook. They are frequently displayed in Peoria and East Peoria, and my husband Jim and I recently completed a month-long photography exhibit at the Foster Gallery in downtown Peoria.
