Like life, my photography has many angles. When not photographing architectural sites,or gifts of nature, you might find me moving with the crowd in a peace march or photographing the antics of Code Pink, women for peace.
At home, I photograph my animals in festive costumes making their own commentary on love, politics and life. But be assured, I carry my camera everywhere taking advantage of the moment, whether or not nature is cooperating. Some of my best photos are taken in less than perfect light with a less than perfect sky but what I love is to come back to my studio, download my photos and play with the images, adding filters, adjusting the hues, saturation and the contrast until the image I captured takes on a life of its own.

Welcome to my website
also known as
Art of the Peaceful
1. The New Mexico Gallery is populated by images of old buildings, lonely churches, broken fences, petroglyphs and other weathered formations and eccentric creations only to be found in the Land of Enchantment.
2. Cityscapes focuses on the rooftops, the Victorian frilleries and weather vanes of the older 19th century architecture that can be found throughout our nation.
3. The Nature gallery contains lush fields of flowers, seagulls flying skyward, cacti on the California coast , South western monuments,
and the richness of the flaura and fauna in my garden.
4. Josie's Beasties is a gallery celebrating the many beasties who have touched my life. It includes the Wanted Sweet Georgia Brown" series, a line of whimsical, irreverent and thought provoking images in which one little cowdoggie and her cowpokie friends explore the wild lands of northern New Mexico spouting thoughts and observations of real life 19th century cowgirls.
5.Artist Favorites is a gallery that is populated
by some of my favorite images.
6. The Power of Pink: containing images of Code Pink, Women for Peace.
