Inspired by the potential for learning the workshop environment can foster, In 2009, I began leading annual photography workshops in Italy.

My photographs of Italy have been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions and are held in many public and private collections. In 2005, my work was featured in the prestigious LensWork magazine.
