My interest in photography goes back to 1976 when living in
Paris. Life in the French capital and setting up my own darkroom
gave me great opportunities to develop my creativity.
I rediscovered my interest and passion for photography in 2014
going through the process of learning and adapting to the digital
environment by taking classes at Canada College, Skyline College,
and Foothill College. Memberships in the Sequoia Art Group, and the
Palo Alto Camera Club give me the opportunity to bring my art into
our communities.
I am greatly influenced by the Duesseldorfer Photoschule
created by Hilla and Bernd Becher,
“ Die Neue Deutsche Objektivitaet”.
I feel passionate about illustrating and showing the beauty and
conditions which surround us. I currently exhibit my work
throughout the San Francisco Bay Area as well as on Social Network.
