Thank you for visiting my site.
I am a San Francisco-based photographer / gardener / art history lover / reader / traveller / digital photo restorer / dog mother / meditator.
I am a visual thinker. I have been a photographer most of my life and I hold a master's degree in computer science. I've worked with computer graphics on many levels for a long time.
I built a collection of antique maps of Yorkshire and donated it to Stanford's Rumsey Map Center.
I'm currently obsessed with learning about the Italian Renaissance.
Not news to anyone, we all need a break from the craziness these days. I offer my photographs so you can take a breather.
May my photographs provide digital respite in this overstimulated world.
