I have a keen interest in our natural world. The noblest thing a person can do is to study the works of our Creator. I have done this most of my adult life. Having realized some artistic talent at an early age I pursued drawing and painting and later photography. I acquired my first 35mm camera while serving in the US Navy in 1967. I was hooked from then on and had a camera with me wherever I went. I am now picking up the paint brush again, along with photographing the natural environment. It is my hope that my art work and images will inspire you to help protect and conserve our wild and scenic areas.
