The sources for my style of image-making are my past experience with black-and-white film photography and the art and culture of East Asia. As an undergraduate at the University of New Mexico, I had coursework in photography, Chinese brush painting, and the philosophy, history, and language of East Asia. Following graduate school at Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada, and a postgraduate fellowship at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, I became a conservator for the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Asian Art. This role led to frequent travels in Asia, and at the same time, I continued my pursuit of photography. After leaving the Smithsonian, I devoted myself more fully to photography and my work has been selected for publication and a number of juried national exhibitions. I am represented by Calloway Fine Art & Consulting, Washington, D.C. (www.callowayart.com), and {9} The Gallery, Phoenix, Arizona (www.9thegallery.com).
