About

I began my journey into art as a photographer, growing up on the East Coast. I went to graduate school in Connecticut and was fascinated by the old mill towns that were abundant at the time. Such a sense of loss and decay. In the decades since, I've focused on the natural world, beautiful as well as distressed, as everything tells a story. 

My current work moves beyond representational imagery into tactile, multi-medium interpretations. I combine alternate materials with photography--silk, vellum, paints, pastels, and gold & palladium leafing to create depth and luminescence.  Working with oil, I use transparent layers of paint to translate impressions and memories into expressive stories.
