Growing up in Wisconsin and living my twenties in the Colorado Rockies, nature became a major source of inspiration, solace and reflection. Graduating in "79" with a BFA from the University of Colorado and then taking graduate courses in MIS at the Colorado State University, synchronically lead me into the computer industry. My career pioneered various business and technology trends, which included working for leading manufactures in networking, fiber optics, and graphics software. However, throughout my career my interests in the arts stayed alive through writing, ceramics, photography, and drawing.

Nature's energy and natural rhythms has energized my imagination and accelerated my spiritual growth. Trusting my vision, spontaneity and intuition, the magic of nature's life force emerged and is witnessed through the use of an everyday camera. Many transformative events took me back to nature to seek solace, reflection and inspiration. Nature or Mother Earth gave me the framework and material to see her natural beauty and gain insight into living life fully. One thing I know, magic is a part of the unknowable, but which exists and makes our life extraordinary. Magic is what we are all looking for, and I believe I have experienced it. May your journey through my photographs take you into that magic.
