Steve and I live in the Highlands of Scotland during the summer. This year we visited abandoned cottages (with permission) and learned as much as we could about the former inhabitants. In do so we felt a sense of loss and a true sense of the home that once was. Places not always abandoned but once well loved. With this in mind we set to recreate life in these residences. And, in doing so, remembered laughter, conversations, and movement. But that couldn't overcome the awareness of the ones forgotten to time.
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.
