I have lived in Louisiana my entire life. My passion for photography came about with my first instamatic camera from my aunt, when I was five. At ten I lost my mother in an accident, ending my creativity. My grandmother took me in and raised me as her own. I got married after graduating high school. We traveled the country as a truck drivers for five years. He encouraged me to began to see the world through a camera again. I went back to college, and received my bachelors degree in Visual Arts in 2004. I was privedledged to place in each art show I entered. I am currently divorced, working full time, and self supported. I am focused on becoming a better person/ artist. I have an extreme shyness that I have never been able to break through, but I am getting better. I am grateful for any and all assistance given by way of critique and encouragement. Thank you all!!!
