If you want to know about me…

Sometimes, it is difficult to be a woman who is an artist, photographer, gear head and complete adrenaline junkie. The smells of white grease and gasoline that permeated my child hood are partially to blame for who I am today.

As for my love of all things speed and machine, I owe everything to my dad. My dad’s hobbies consisted of off road racing, cars and dirt bikes, as well as collecting and restoring classic automobiles. He taught me that it did not matter if I was a girl, I could do anything boys could do and I should never let anything stand in my way. My dad always encouraged me to be myself, showed me the beauty and appreciation of all automobiles, as well as, taught me how to drive them.Including his favorite, an incredible combination of “Fuel, Fire and Water.” A Model ‘R” Stanley Steamer Roadster, which I still drive, and is my favorite “Hot Rod” to this day.

All of this and being “My Father’s Son,” has led me to pursue the art of photographing all things metal, machine and speed. I have an amazing life and I love what I do.
