HOW SENDING LOVE BEGAN
The idea of designing greeting cards haunted my daydreams for a very long time. Using my deep collection of photography and lifelong obsession with great quotes, that daydream is finally a reality.
My photography journey began 40 years ago. It's taken me from darkroom printing to photojournalism to photographing concerts & rock stars to fashion & commercial photography, and all the way to photographing video & movie stills in Los Angeles. Many trips around the sun later, I found my happy place and fell in love with photographing the unedited awe and wonder of children - who knew?
Rooted in black & white film, I taught myself to hand color fiber based prints producing timeless, hand-tinted portraits celebrating the heart & soul of childhood. These images have been featured on greeting cards with Leanin' Tree Publishing for 15 years in shops around the world. I put a lot of heart and soul into these portraits, and that's why these whimsical images were my first choice to debut in the Sending Love Greeting Card Collection.
Inspired by every day life and life's adventures, I'm adding more designs from my library to this collection every day and it's been growing and unfolding as the seasons pass.
Thank you for coming along on this journey with me and my family. Our intention is to provide simply said sentiments in a card that will save you time, help you connect with your favorite people, and celebrate life.
You'll make them smile.
Sending love can make someone's day!

"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way ... things I had no words for."
This quote struck a chord in me and I realized that's precisely how I communicate what's in my heart: through the lens of a camera and with intuitive painting.
Inspired over the years by Georgia, Robert Mapplethorpe and so many others, it's inside the universe of flowers and nature where I discovered a kaleidoscope of visual surprises and abstract shapes. I became obsessed! Playing with shadow and light, flowers transform ... becoming abstract and subtle one moment ... to exaggerated and dramatic in the next. Becoming specific about abstraction, focusing on one aspect and sometimes using blur or intentional camera movement, combined with texture overlays, my hope is that these images will take you on a visual ride ... to a place where all things are possible.
