About
“Live your passions, and live them well!”
Creativity nurtures my soul. A freelance writer (see a sample my professional writing here), artist, photographer, and teacher for many years, you have probably noticed that I love being creative! I mainly use acrylic and watercolor paints, seaglass and natural and recycled objects in my work. Nature and travel photography is my favorite, but I do have a history of family, baby, and wedding photography, as well. Just about anything creative is what I love to do!
This is one of the only remaining prints I have left from my high school film days. The original is scratched, so I did have to do some photo editing on this scan to fix it up a bit.
You are a busy gal Shannon! I like that you call photo manipulation artography. And how true that creativity keeps us alive. I look forward to getting to know you! Margie
