BIO & CV

bio pic.jpg

I received my first Polaroid camera when I was 12.  I felt an immediate affinity with the medium and have been shooting ever since.. Through photography, I found a way to share my voice more clearly than with words.

When shooting, I feel a visceral connection to what I see, when I am emotionally, almost spiritually connected to the photo.  I find myself present in that moment, grateful for that glimpse of something bigger than me, of something universal. 

Through photography, I have been fortunate to find that connection in many ways, not just by sharing my own work, but by helping others on their own artistic journey. I have taught in both the classroom and photography workshops, to children and adults alike. I’ve had the opportunity to travel through out the United States to national landmarks, beach towns, circuses, dog shows, and much more. 

I find inspiration in discovering new music, running, hiking, and spending time with my two beautiful daughters.
