My love of photography began while taking college photography classes. I continued taking photographs after college, although, for many years, my images centered mainly on family events, quiet moments at home, and family travel.
For nearly 25 years, I worked in higher education, as a faculty member and department chair. After retiring in 2010, I devoted much time and energy to a variety of projects in the visual arts, including curation and publishing. During this phase of my life, I began to rediscover my deep love of photography and re-establish myself as a photographer. Then and now, wherever I am, whatever I am doing, I take in everything around me, always looking for what moves me, captures my attention, or draws me in.
In recent years, I have returned more fully to photography as my primary creative practice. I divide my time between Boston and Stonington, CT, where I share studio space in the historic Velvet Mill. I travel as often as I can, always with a camera, open eyes, and an open heart.
This year, my images have been included in several shows: a Velvet Mill group show at the Hygenic in New London, CT, two group shows at the Thames River Gallery in New London, CT, an exhibition at the Finer Line Gallery in Mystic, CT, and two group shows at the curated online Carlotta Gallery.

I use a camera to capture details, patterns, and moods. I pay attention to the here and now - where I am, what I notice, and how I feel. My images reveal moments and details that might otherwise go unnoticed, inviting viewers to slow down and look closely at patterns, contrasts, shapes, shadows, and light. Whether close to home or traveling, having a camera with me heightens my awareness of the present and deepens my appreciation of place, time, history, and everyday life.
