ARTIST STATEMENT
I grew up in a family of photographers – both my grandfather and father were award-winning amateur photographers, and my father was well known for his slide travelogues on many parts of the world. I received my first box camera at the age of seven and haven’t stopped taking pictures since. Keeping up with changes in camera technology has been a continuing challenge. Only recently, now that I’m retired from 50 years of teaching at Gettysburg College, have I found time to devote to photography and submit photos for exhibition. My images have been accepted by regional juried shows in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Virginia and Maryland. Included in my five recent one-woman shows are “Faces of Myanmar,” “The Balkan Backstory” and “Barns of Adams County.”
