We were touring a garden near Dornoch, Scotland when this young man spotted me. Or more truthfully he spotted my camera. He wanted me to take his picture. Then he wanted to take a picture with my camera. With his father's permission we spent some time together doing just that. He is a curious and likeable 4 year old. I wanted to combine his portrait with the picture of the grasses he took.
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.
