I am an American living in Paris. I travel many countries and retain a treasure of memories that are enhanced by my daily inspiration in this glorious city.
My ‘real’ painting place is in Normandy where pastels, watercolors and paints allow me to play in other media. As Paul Klee said, “Color possesses me. I don’t have to pursue it. That is the meaning of this happy hour.”
All of this to balance my other life in photojournalism.
