A lot of things have been on my mind this past year and memories flood back to me. There are days when I vividly feel the weight of the past. My memories and those of the women before me. I strive to speak, to tell, to remember. And hopefully to create understanding. Naturally, my camera tells the story for me as I document my memories. And, hopefully, those of the women that felt the weight of society and unrealistic expectations before me.
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.
