Statement: Thirty years ago, I took a Cord Camera photography class, and this ignited my passion for travel photography. I began taking road trips throughout the United States and Canada. What excited me most about my earliest photography adventures was having the opportunity to share powerful images and sharp color. In 2006, I traveled from the Netherlands to Italy, and I discovered architecture and landscapes that took my breath away. For my viewers, I wanted to capture the wonder I felt when I came upon these spectacular scenes. I continue to travel. My recent collections are of trip to Nepal, Portugal, Peru, Morroco, Northwest United States, and California.
