While I'm not a performing artist, I have the great pleasure of photographing the Salina Community Theatre, Salina Symphony, Ballet Salina, Center for Theater Arts, Tamara Howe School of Dance and the McPherson Classical Coaching Academy. 

During my high school years, I was more involved with the technical side of theatre, running the light and sound board. I played the clarinet through middle school and two years in high school before spending more time working on photography. 

Being able to meld my appreciation of arts with my own artistic view is one of my greatest joys ... as is introducing my son to the performing arts, and watching his face light up during performances.
