My friend teaches in the local rural high school. She has initiated a class on Current Affairs with 5 students enrolled. She asked me to meet the students and to document their thoughts and opinions.They met as a class and determined what subjects were important to them and how they wanted to represent them.They led the way.Every meeting was both planned and haphazard. What these young adults wanted to say most was that despite coming from varying backgrounds and beliefs they can/do disagree respectfully without resorting to anger and resentment. Perhaps they are learning from our mistakes.
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.
