Birdie Boy The daily adventures of my magnificent winged wonder, Birdie Boy!. He literally flew into my apartment in June of 2010. He was determined to stay. My attempts to relocate him failed as he kept finding his way back to me. Fortunately, the vet gave him a clean bill of health. I adore this little guy, he has my heart. He has a strong personality and is very stubborn but he is also a little lovie. He makes me laugh everyday. He loves to perch on me and always wants to be as close to me as he can get. He also loves balancing on one foot. He has introduced me to the wonderful world of birds.

About this user

I am a self-taught taught artist that discovered my passion for photography, back in 1995, while writing my first book, Haunting Hands. A book initially intended to be a collection of poems i had written about surviving a difficult childhood. I decided it would feel more personal if i created the cover for the book myself. Shortly thereafter i purchased a camera and turned my living room into a makeshift studio. I did a series of self-portraits and then another and another. The process of creating and putting myself in front of the camera felt cathartic, liberating and healing.
My book transformed into a, survivor-orientated, photographic essay and that started me down the path to becoming a photographic artist.

BRIEF BIO:
I have produced cover art for books, playbills, collective fine art books and have had my work exhibited in New York, including the Hofstra Museum. In 2009 i published, an artography book featuring my art and poetry titled, Shades of the Soul.
