Welcome to my site.   I hope you enjoy my photographs of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley and surrounding area.  I would like to thank everyone who has visited this site and those who have come to the Artists of the Week Show and Sale at Massanutten.  I have been fortunate to receive some glowing reviews of my work, for which I am grateful.  For those who recognize a particular scene and can appreciate my photos, I feel a special connection.

About the artist:  I am a self-taught digital photographer.  Living in the Shenandoah Valley with my family since 2002, I realized early on that the Valley is a photographer's paradise.  Every season brings different colors, moods and images to capture.  We make our home at Massanutten Resort, with its rolling greens and mountainous peak, which further enhances the opportunities to take breathtaking pictures.

Weekends will find me and my husband (and often our dog, Darla) taking a ride in the countryside in search of unique photo shots.  The people we encounter in the Valley are friendly and warm.  They, too, know what an honor it is to live in such a beautiful place.

The photos you see in my gallery are available in various sizes, matted, mounted and/or framed.
