You know those dividers that separate prints in galleries? The bins containing unframed works? Well, the back side of one of those separators had some cool paint splotches on it, some ripped tape, some glue, etc. I asked permission to photograph the back of the separator, and that photograph forms a large part of this piece. I've also incorporated photos of a wall, trees, some owl feathers, Canada geese, a pattern on a friend's shirt, my own random painted marks on paper, and a seed pod I found in Tennessee. All these elements came together to create something that made me think of fall, even though I created this on a sunny spring morning.

I'm a photographer, writer, educator based on Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest, specializing in photomontage work, combining photos I've taken of rust, walls, peeling paint, birds, postage stamps, trees, etc. into images that are completely new, different, and often weird. I also create physical collages, then find myself photographing parts of them to include in my photomontages. It's crazy, but it's fun! My career has encompassed writing guidebooks (primarily about where to photograph in California), newsletters (guides for photographers about where to photograph in the United States), leading photo workshops, and conducting online classes.
