Act as if.

About Me

I am Mistress of Photography.
My passion is in creating art and photography.
Several years ago I found the most wonderful man. We have been married for almost 4 years now! He is a talented artist, my very best friend, and the most amazing father. To make it even more amazing he spoils me with everything my heart desires! The best thing of all is that we are deeply in love and have a sweet little family.
I am deeply spiritual, but not religious. I am working towards getting my doctorate degree in metaphysics.
I am the owner/designer of: Photomonium
Basically I earn my living selling the fruits of my imagination. At one time they were in jewelry form, art, photographs, books, or whatever else I felt like making! Now, it is all about art and photography. No more jewelry making for me!
My newest book "At the Threshold of Life" was released earlier this year. This book is hardcover, features 100 pages of original photographs from the city of Paris and the amazingly beautiful Parisian Cemeteries. "At the Threshold of Life" is available in very limited quantitied - I'm nearly sold out! If you're interested in purchasing one, please send me a note.
