I was introduced to Impressionism and Post-Impressionism in college. I was drawn to the bold color palettes, the absence of precise detail, and the focus on everyday subjects. Decades later, I remain captivated by impressionistic art.

I became serious about photography while serving in the Peace Corps. I taught in secondary schools in Nigeria and Tanzania, where I started a photography club for my students and established a darkroom for developing film and printing black-and-white photographs. During those years, I photographed people, daily life, and wildlife throughout East and West Africa.

Upon my return home I pursued a career in medicine. I continued to photograph everyday life and western landscapes.

In recent years, I have explored techniques including multiple exposure, intentional camera movement, and blur to create impressionistic images. In my mind I am ‘seeing’ beyond what is in front of me to create images that are my interpretation of what I see and how I feel.

Combining my passion for photography with my lifelong fascination with Impressionism has been both satisfying and energizing. My photographs are not intended to document reality precisely; they are my interpretation of it.
