I'm an award winning visually impaired fine art photographer / photo artist.
I have a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University where I concentrated in woodworking / furniture design. I received a professional fellowship from the Virginia Museum of Fine Art in 1983 after graduating from VCU. Over the years I have shown work around the country in group shows. Along with furniture I have also produced award winning mixed media sculpture. Since 2007 I have turned to digital photography as a creative outlet and have exhibited work locally and nationally.
My interests in subject matter for photography are varied. From nature to architecture and objects and their potential for abstraction, to a conceptual perspective that explores the human condition.
My vision loss is due to a congenital form of optic atrophy. My peripheral vision is blurred (20/400 corrected) and the central vision is obscured by a white blind-spot. I use a 4x monocular to do photo editing. Photography is more than a form of artistic expression but also a visual aide that allows me to revel in the exquisite detail that surrounds us.
If you have vision loss don't lose sight of the beauty of life. If you have lost sight of the beauty of life you are truly blind.
