About

During my school days, whether I was throwing pots, pouring bronze, painting, or printmaking, I had my camera to document the moment. I loved photography, and hence it has become a lifelong pursuit.

During my career as a graphic designer, photography became a form of commercial communication. Now photography is a broader form of visual communication.

Being a southern girl living in the New England area, the notion of sand and snow mixed together is of continuous fascination. And this fascination persists in my work, along with the undulations of the counties.

One influential moment as a photographer was during a nor’easter. I pulled to the side of the road because of a vintage cabin cruiser suspended on cradles above the snow. It was in the middle of January in Winter Harbor and I pushed through four feet of snow to capture the shot. The boat appeared dimly in the storm, like a phantom on a sea of white water turbulence. Next to the boat, the curved sharp teeth of a hay rack swirled out of the snow bank like a rolling wave. I found an affinity with Maine’s spirit and terrain, and this state continuously provides such moments of form, time, and transient light.

I have a BFA in painting and design, with a minor in English studies, from the University of NC in Greensboro. I studied painting abroad in Italy through a program with the University of Georgia. I moved to New England in 2002 and worked in the communications department for an environmental nonprofit.

As my career evolved, I moved to Maine in 2010, where I set up shop in an artists studio as a freelance web marketer offering WordPress web design and content writing services, along with photography services to the many artists in the studio. And once again, photography, along with a writing, as won out over other services and continues to be the main stay of my commercial and personal pursuits.
