Turning Art Bio 5.10.19

This is story telling, a body of images more interested in stirring emotions than creating documents. To achieve this, light, color, grace, style and beauty combine within carefully chosen frames.
Most all of the photographs were taken where or close to where the artist was living at the time. Their subjects are everyday things at everyday places with doses of not so everyday weather. The exception to this, is work made in response to a call for work. Often that work is constructed by the artist.

The artist lives in Old Saybrook, CT. She holds an MFA photography from Columbia College Chicago with additional studies in Fine Arts and Fiber Arts/Bookmaking.
