While working with a locally (Kibera) based womens empowerment project, I found that looking beyond the obvious obstacles of extreme poverty, lack of sanitation and opportunities, one could find hard working people, community, family, and joy in unexpected doses.
I received my BFA in Photography in 1976 and continued to work as a visual artist in a variety of capacities, from studio/location photography to filmmaking for the US Navy. During the most recent phase of my life I've been pursuing fine art photography and iphoneography. My work has been exhibited locally, nationally, and internationally and is included in collections at the Asia Society Museum and MIT's Islamic architecture library.
