In my lifetime I have been daughter, sister, wife, mother, empty nester, grandmother, great grandmother, widow, partner and then after all of this a photographer. By this time I had so many stories to tell and with a camera a way to tell them. In this time I have been honored to receive awards in the Urban Photo Awards, Julia Margaret Cameron overall winner award, Pollux Awards, Budapest Photography Awards, Rise Awards, Curators selection in Open Walls Awards, PX3 Awards, Curators selection in IPA Awards, Siena Creative Awards, merit awards in Fotonostrum Portrait Awards,. Each award, from Hon. Mention to Winner a step in the journey of learning and telling my stories.
