I am an artist from the days when paintings were done manually, on a canvas, and I was around when the first color photographs replaced B and W. At that point, I got my first small camera, which kept me satisfied for many years. I obtained my first digital camera in 2006.

Now, I love creating art on the computer, starting with my digital photos. My first serious photo manipulation program was Arcsoft Photo Studio, and I do what I can with it - which is a surprising amount, considering it is not Photoshop!. Update: in April, 2010, a long-time dream came true - I purchased a Wacom tablet and pen, which came with Corel Painter 4 included. With these two powerful tools, whole new worlds have opened up.

[And that was before Corel Painter 11 was given to me as a gift, in November 2011 ]

The beauty of the natural word is my great inspiration. I like camping, hiking, and kayaking in quiet waters - with my little camera handy at all times, of course.

My husband and I are retired, and manage a small farm in the hill country of New York State. Large vegetable and flower gardens keep us busy. It is still pretty rural here, with woods to walk in. And to the north are the wonderful Adirondack Mountains, land that I love.
