My work, as photographer and educator, is informed by my early career studies with Minor White and Nicholas Hlobeczy. The works in these galleries are the expression of search for presence:
- … in my subjects,
- … in me- the photographer,
- … in the photographs that emerge and
- presence in the audience.
Photographer:
Since 1971 these photographs have appeared in numerous one person and group exhibitions. I am represented in many corporate and individual collections, and have received citations and awards periodically. I’ve taught advanced black and white, color and digital photography at the Case Western Reserve University Art Studios. (retired 2025)
In 2011, I was inducted into the American Advertising Federation (Cleveland) Hall of Fame.
My photographic monograph, with text by Laura Taxel- The Lake View Cemetery: Photographs from Cleveland’s Historic Landmark , from the University of Akron Press, was published in late 2014.
Educator:
I began working with students while still in college. Shortly after graduating from CWRU, I began teaching (part time instructor) at the Case Western Reserve University Art Studios, until 1985. I returned to The Art Studios in 2010 (until 2025, retired). Additionally, since 2002, I worked closely with student interns in my photography studio each semester.
