I am a musician, photographer, and 3D artist in Houston, Texas. A classically trained flutist, I attended the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, where I studied with the master flute teacher Robert Cavally. I later graduated from North Texas State University with a degree in music. Since 1997, I have performed with Texas Jazz Central (a big band), with Fling (a flute-bass jazz duo), and with the World Music Ensemble (a chamber-music quintet) in Houston.

I have studied photography with Raul Touzon and David Alan Harvey under the auspices of Santa Fe Workshops and National Geographic. I am currently a mentoree of Arthur Meyerson, of Santa Fe Workshops, for whose kindness and expert guidance I am most grateful. The photos shown here were taken with various Canon EOS series cameras. For a list of my prize-winning images, please see Awards.

In addition, I create 3D artworks in Bryce, Poser, and XenoDream, as well as fractal art made with UltraFractal software. My fractals are included in the book Illuminations, published by Celestial Arts in 2006. Some of my other fractal images have been used for brochures and program covers. I designed and created this website, as well as the website for Texas Jazz Central.
