My cousins came to visit. We haven't stayed close since childhood. Life happens and families take different paths. But, we have memories and it is fun to bring up the memories and see which ones we share. As they are brother and sister they share the past and will share the future as they head in that direction. Perhaps we all will now that we have reconnected.
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.
