Landscapes

I’m a huge fan of taking pictures.

I can be found walking around, with either my phone or my bigger, more noticeable Canon Rebel, taking pics.

If I see a view I want to remember, I’ll reach for my phone (currently using the iPhone 14 pro) and snap two or three pics.

Sunrises, sun reflecting across water, a family of ducks walking, and just about anything with trees, oceans, or running water…

are things I tend to get a picture of.

When carrying my Canon Rebel with a little extra zoom, I love catching people mid-laugh or smile and then snap a couple of pics. Any facial expression expression will get my attention, which coincides with my other jobs, providing mental health therapy and working for a non-profit board.

I’m attaching just a few pics here, and will continue to upload them to the site in the fineartsamerica.com link below.

So far, I’ve enjoyed uploading, and then ordering, from myself. I ordered a notebook with a picture of the landscape shown below, which then became the cover of a small notebook I use for personal notes.

I’ve also enjoyed making a greeting card or two with a sunset or sunrise over water. I could then add in a little statement of my own, knowing the sunset on the boat ride from Naples would be meaningful to my high school graduating cousin’s grandfather, who lives there

Trauma Informed Mental Health

As a trauma informed mental health provider, I like to write about (and read about) wellness, trauma, and providing quality services in mental health. I provide articles and links to articles I have written about mental health and things I observe in our culture
