After thirty plus years in Nashville, Tennessee and a  successful career in fund raising with a national health organization, she returned to the area in 1999.  This time the destination was Destin, Florida. As her fascination for the wildlife and scenery grew, she turned to photography as a way to capture the images she finds so delightful.  Photography has become a way to share her unique view of the Gulf Coast and she hopes others will find in her work a glimpse of the serenity and beauty that surrounds us on a daily basis.

Her work can be seen at Quayside Gallery in Pensacola, Collaborations in Seagrove, Artistic Accents in Panama City Beach, and in many homes and corporate offices in the Destin area.

She was honored as one of six finalists for the prestigious Walton County Artist of the year in 2003, placing second in the competition.  She is a member of Three Arts Alliance, Pensacola Artists, Inc., Cultural Arts Association, and Arts and Design Society of Fort Walton Beach.  Her work is also available on the internet at: www.coastalreflections.com
