I took up photography many years ago after going scuba diving for the first time. I was a farm girl from rural Iowa and had to find a way to share what I saw with family and friends who would never see it first hand. As an undergraduate at the University of Iowa, I exhibited locally and won a couple of photography awards. In my 30s I went off to graduate school and then to full-time teaching, and within a few years became an academic department head. Under those pressures, photography fell by the wayside. Hurricane Katrina inspired me to pick up the camera again. WATERLINE: an interactive photo installation has been exhibited multiple times throughout Louisiana and in Florida, and a framed fragment of it in Philadelphia. Current photography projects include documenting Louisiana agriculture and Louisiana wildflowers, but my photographic interests are eclectic, ranging from nature to architecture and industry.
