Im fairly new to digital photography – so I take pictures of anything and everything! I travel a lot and am always looking for unusual angles rather than standard tourist shots. Im fascinated particularly by symmetry, reflection, and abstraction, and through my macro lens I have discovered a whole new world of color, texture, and detail that I never knew existed! Red Bubble has opened up photography in a wonderful new way for me and I have learned so much by studying the art of other photographers. I’d love any comments, criticisms, feedback that anyone wants to give on my work.

I lived for 22 years in NZ
and 22 years in Australia
and then moved to the US to live in Florida
