Ghost Building Tank Top

Payson Arizona is one of our favorite old towns. It is a small but thriving small town on the Mogollon Rim. The Rim is from 4000 to 8000' high, and runs diagonally across Arizona. These long-ago abandoned buildings lie near the outskirts of town. They were once the home and rental homes of some of the towns most prominent citizens, many decades ago. Now they lie in decay, a testament to our ancestors, who tamed the 'wild west'.

Settling into the sunset of my life, I have returned to the love of imaging that drove me as a teenager. It's been a long journey, through motherhood (3 men and 9 grandchildren), religion, computer science career, and two wonderful marriages. It has emerged into a fuller awareness of the basic love within me, a true awareness of my real self, a spiritual awakening, and a desire to splurge with color and form, through the adventure of photography and digital imaging. I wish to express and share my appreciation for the art that is the world, through the use of focused expression in a direct image of the beauty in the world to the visual poetry of abstract impressionism through digital art.
