creation . . .
My early study of geology has translated into a fascination with beads of natural materials. Each creation is designed to be an adornment celebrating nature.
Most of my photographic pieces explore the wonders of nature, from the minuscule patterns found in small rocks, plants and insects, to the textures and colors in flowers and leaves, and the immense Central Oregon skies filled with patterns of clouds and brilliant colors of sunrises.
