Original photography exploring the inspirational messages and beauty of everyday objects.
Artist Bio
Combining a love of photography with professional experience in graphic design, I created these original images and powerful words to evoke the inspiration and connection she finds in everyday objects. For me, this is a way to help people heal and support each other, while expressing myself creatively.
I’ve worked in many medias like painting, folk arts and collage, but Alan, my younger brother, provided the influence and equipment for this incredible creative outlet. After working professionally in photography for 25 years, Alan passed away suddenly in 2010. Thanks to him, I’ll never use anything but a Nikon...
Inspirational images and evocative words are offered as frameable posters or greeting cards for birthday, sympathy, graduation, showers, love, and encouragement, in vibrant color. Fundraising partnerships, corporate logo placement, customized text and commissioned photos are encouraged as a way to “spread the word.”

Live in the Moment
This is my cat, Balto. He is 18lbs of all male cat, still going strong at 13yrs old. Fortunately for me, he has always liked the camera. (And, apparently, the camera likes him, too.)

Eye Candy
This beautiful horse and many others were at last weekend's show at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. The dogs and I were driving past on the way to get coffee. Just had to stop and shoot.

Follow Your Bliss
This is the pysanky egg I have hanging from a pendulum in front of the thangka Ellie brought back from Tibet. I wake up to this image every morning, since it faces my bed.

Only from the Heart
This is the other photo of my brother's from our family trip to Alaska. This Rumi quote always evokes a strong feeling in me.

Father's Day
I'm very excited about the 12 new designs I sent out to the printer today. This one was created from a photo my brother took in Alaska. I'm glad to be circulating his work for him. I like thinking that his art lives on and can be seen by others. Thanks to Stacy Walters for helping me find the right word for this.
Abundance
John and I went out and took pictures of last night's full moon. Got a great photo of the moon and a seperate shot of the trees in moonlight. A little artistic manipulation merged them into this.

Relax
This lemur was chillin' in the Omaha zoo over Memorial Day weekend. He's all like "where's the remote?"

Cherish
This is my velveteen dog "Pinkerlily." I've loved him so much that I don't remember a time when he had fur. He's pictured here with two of the fully jointed bears I made for my daughter, and my second favorite elephant.

Puppy Love
Our shelter-rescue fox-terrier mix, Jude, as a six-month old puppy... in the snow... with a wet nose... and a heart-shaped tag.
Kansas University Danforth Chapel
Kara Lynch inspired me to take this photo of Danforth Chapel at the University of Kansas two days ago when she needed a wedding gift for her nephew. She thought of the words to go on this, too. Thanks Kara!
