I am an artist to the core. Always with a pencil or paintbrush in my hand, it was inevitable that I would study art in college. While there, I explored many creative outlets, such as sculpture, painting, and pottery (in fact, I still drink coffee from my handmade mugs).
But the camera became my most compelling tool for transforming the world into art. I was completely absorbed in experimenting with different facets of photography: developing my own film, working in the mysterious, enigmatic darkroom, and experimenting with rare processes such as cyanotypes and emulsion transfers. Equal parts technical and artistic, the joy of photography quickly grew into a lifelong passion.
Quick facts about me:
• I learned to drive on a stick shift, and I still have one today.
• I used to have a motorcycle – equal parts terrifying and exhilarating.
• I’m unabashedly obsessed with music, especially on vinyl.
• I’m a mom to two teenage boys.
• I have a never-ending fascination with the world in general: animals, psychology, nature, the way the light changes in the sky, in landscapes, and on buildings.
• At times, this fascination can distract me while driving.
• I promise, I’m a good driver.
• My drone’s name is Xatu.
• I anthropomorphize my camera gear (everybody does that, right?)
• I can’t pronounce anthropomorphize.
• One of my favorite things to do is sit on my deck, watching the birds at the feeder while listening to music and sipping a good drink.
Join me for a good drink, or some coffee from a handmade mug.
