I was born and raised in Dülmen, Germany and came to the US in 1985 and live outside of Columbus, Ohio. A mother of 7 adult kids and a grandmother of 5 beautiful grandchildren. Photography has been a big part of my life for many years. Nature and Landscape are my main focus but I also like to try new things.
Thank you for visiting my portfolio and God bless!
