This is my great granddaughter. She and I share a sense for the dramatic, we understand each other, and she is comfortable in front of my camera. This was taken at the end of the visit and when she climbed on the fence I knew she would speak to me with those eyes.
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.
