I've always loved nature and trying to capture its beauty for others to appreciate. Born in Tennessee, raised in Ohio, and now back in Tennessee since 1990, Appalachia is in my blood and heart. My Granddad taught me to appreciate the art of photography, my parents helped me develop a love of God and his creation, and my Aunt Toby (1942-1993) showed me how to find beauty in almost anything.

For the past two years I have become increasingly involved in nature photography. You can see a daily post at my blog, From These Hills: Beauty and Wisdom from Appalachia.
