It is time to tell the truth by looking at the facts that have lead up to this posting. As a child it was my favorite escape to rest my back upon the bottom of the swing set slide, looking up at the sky watching the dancing clouds go by changing into an amazing variety of shapes and forms. This is a gift we all have to use our imaginations. In my grandparents back yard I found a safe place to feel happiness and at peace in the wonderful world of natures elements. Then, the events of the past to horrible to say, that had caused me to forget about imagination and play, that place me on the path to just survival. Today, I fully understand what it is to be a survivor and the beauty and happiness to still be alive, is one important element that I put into my photographic creations.

It taken a lot of courage plus an ample amount of determination to rediscover, More importantly to then unlock the pathway to remembering, I am an Artist. Photography has become the key to unlocking the doorway into my deepest feelings, emotions and memories and it has been my best tool for self exploration into the healing world of expressive art therapy.
