This is Eliza and her friend, Sara. In this image I am reminded that even best friends can differ in opinions and interests. While one is centered and focused and trying to understand the world through the haze of information on social media, etc, the other is ignoring all of that and blithely dreaming of a bright future.
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.
