The exhibit is centered on two predominant themes:

The Vulnerable - Those creatures I was blessed to have experienced, and that are recognized as having a precarious existence on Earth.  They are listed as Vulnerable, Nearly Threatened, Threatened, Protected, Endangered, or even Critically Endangered.  I present them so as to highlight their incredible uniqueness and critical importance to the preservation of the balance of our natural world.   

Here and Afar - A collection of wildlife (fauna), flora, and landscapes from different parts of the world, as well as from our very local conservation lands in and around Bow and Dunbarton, and other parts of New Hampshire.

With the exception of the imperiled representatives from the Belize Zoo (Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Facility), all wildlife photography is of free roaming species in their natural habitats or open ecosystems.

About the Artist….

I am a recently retired biology teacher from Bow High School as well as nature photographer.  My intense passion with photographing the natural world was originally fueled mostly from wanting to share the amazing splendor of pristine wildernesses and the wonder of wildlife that I witnessed, with my family, and friends.  Later, I realized how impactful my images could be in teaching students and others to appreciate and respect the beauty and delicate balance of our natural world.       

I spend much of my time exploring New Hampshire’s ‘open spaces’ along with other areas up and down the east coast, Alaska…..anywhere!   I have taken several student groups to study diverse ecosystems including Belize and South Africa, and joined a Teacher Fellowship group as part of Ecology Project International in Costa Rica to aid in Leatherback sea turtle conservation.   Needless to say, my camera equipment rarely leaves my side!!  I am often asked, “What do you like to photograph?”, to which I reply, “Whatever gets in front of the lens - from the smallest dragonfly or ladybug, to the grandeur of a mountain ridge!”
