Growing up on a farm in Brown County, Ohio, art has always been a part of my life. In 1994 I graduated with a degree in Graphic Design from the UC College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning and currently live in Batavia.
I enjoy nature and scenic fine art photography, especially cave photography and I work with several non-profit caving groups and cave conservancies. Over the last 4 years, I have won 4 national best of show medals from the National Speleological Society’s annual photo salon. When not shooting underground, I spend a lot of time drawing from my farm roots and shooting images of old barns and covered bridges in Southwestern Ohio, especially around Adams, Brown, and Clermont Counties. Many of these old building are disappearing quickly from neglect or are being torn down and I want to capture their unique beauty before they are gone.
