Artist Statement

Living among the Old Order Amish of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, I am privileged to be able to create these personal, candid portraits of these normally reticent and camera-shy people. These are intimate images that go beyond the postcard and calendar pictures that the public would usually see.
