I’m a writer, photographer, and artist living near Harrisburg, Pa. I’m working on my first novel, which should be finished in 2025, and selling my nature and landscape photography for personal and office decor. I also dabble in bonsai and watercolors.

Great #sunsetphotos from July 2022. Just hanging out with friends when we got the best reds, pinks and violets. My photos are available in prints, canvas and other formats such as postcards. Message me to inquire.

Here’s the process I used to create “Walk in the Woods”. I saw a similar birch painting and loved the chaos of ripped tape for tree shapes. Will do more of these. #watercolor #trees #forests #painting #nature #art #centralpa #susquehannavalley #centralpaart #centralpaartists

“Walk in the Woods” ~ a birch forest I painted Sunday morning; 8x11 inches, watercolor on paper. I was thinking about this for some time and tried a new process instead of the one I used for my Cherry Blossom panting. #watercolor #birchtree #painting #nature #centralpa #susquehannavalley

“Firefly Star Dance” Firefly and star trail photos last night in the back yard. The stacked images rep 2 hours. This is only second time I’ve photographed lightning bugs successfully. Fun to chill with a camera, beers and the light show! #fireflyphotos #fireflies #nightphotography #startrails

Helped this painted turtle hatchling across the hiking path at Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, and planted two trees for an extended “Earth Week”, a redbud and a red spruce. #earthday #turtles #trees #centralpa #harrisburgpa #susquehannavalley #nature #wildlife
German Alps, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, June 2024. They are Kramerspitz, an unknown peak, and Waxenstein. Some of my favorite photos of last year.
"Sunset Patio in March" ~ As the chill of winter eases away, warm sunsets silhouette the naked trees and blush the clouds floating by, offering up orange and purple bliss refractions.
