About

Short Bio

I am an avid gardener and enjoy the outdoors. This led to taking photos of flowers, plants, birds, landscapes and anything my lens can capture.

Statement

Some form of art has always been my passion. My younger self realized making a living on my art would be extremely difficult; but I always tired to incorporate it into my life. My college degrees were in criminal justice with a minor in fine arts. I worked for the federal government as a research analyst using my art as a means to help with crime scenes or crime bulletins. As with many people, as I aged, I decided to change fields completely and went back to school to become a medical assistant. After finishing the program and starting my new job, I was diagnosed with MS. It has taken me on a different journey. It has been over 10 years, and even though some days are still a struggle, I love to get outdoors to enjoy everything nature has to offer.

I started taking pictures of my gardens and the birds surrounding them. It was a means of documenting my many flower gardens and native plants. I realized photography has become my new art form allowing me to express my love for nature in my pictures. I consider myself a nature photographer, capturing the beauty of the moment; whether it is animals, flowers, landscapes or a particular tree. I belong to the Massachusetts Audubon Society and several botanical gardens and wherever I can I try to capture nature and all its beauty.
