I enjoy making something useful and attractive using my own two hands. I relish unearthing the hidden potential in a ball of moist clay and guiding its transformation into something beautiful and functional. The subsequent thrill and excitement of sharing the results of my work is a delightful part of making functional pottery. I respect […]

I fell in love with photography as a teen and trained in photojournalism. After leaving the newsroom, I took a detour into the world of research. Years later when I was going through chemo, I lost my job. However, I re-connected with my old self and have regained my creativity through the lens. Today, I […]

My digital darkroom allows me to refine my vision and use my imagination. I enjoy photographing a variety […]

I am now focused on merging […]
