I love to work with young ladies to illustrate the knowledge, beauty and capability I see blossoming as they grow into maturity. I imagine the wonderful achievements they are capable of - if nurtured, encouraged and allowed. It wasn't always so in my youth. I imagine a world where they will offer us knowledge and we will accept and consequently learn from them. I have used the apple to illustrate this in many of my stories.
I am a Fine Art photographer interested in storytelling, curiosity, and a lifelong desire to explore the world visually. After raising five children and living many roles—daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, widow, and partner—I discovered photography later in life. Nine years ago, my partner gave me my first camera, and in 2020 we transformed an old woodworking shop into my studio. Since then, I have dedicated myself to learning, experimenting, and creating work that reflects the stories I’ve carried for decades.
