I've been searching for the essence of the American character since 1974. I studied photojournalism at the University of Missouri, have visited all of the first 48 states. I've exhibited at several locations in America and England, including the Robin Rice Gallery in New York, and Duke University. My work has been published in many magazines, including Time, Smithsonian, and Life.
