During childhood, I would frequently be found redecorating my dollhouses, making art in the sunroom, or wandering the hidden trails around the barn. And, with a strong penchant for make-believe, would often lose myself in the lands of Lewis Carroll, Nancy Drew, and Shel Silverstein. The through lines of this past are ever-present, coloring how I create my work today. 

Interior design has been a long-standing love of mine. I immersed myself in the subject in college, studied under skilled designers, and, in my twenties, spurred on by an interest in the intersection of art education and human development, became an elementary art teacher. During this span of twenty years, I dabbled in all forms of art media, except one - photography. It was through my work with an antique and architectural salvage shop that I discovered just how swimmingly this one tool could satiate my appreciation for not only art and design, but also spatial form and storytelling.

It is through these experiences that I now work in photography, focusing on interiors, antiques, and objects of all kinds. Sometimes, I write about them.

I am based in Astoria, Oregon, and will travel wherever the aesthetic wind blows.
