A bit about me

Based near Seattle, I create photographs that celebrate individuals, their work, their families and friendships, the milestones in their lives and everyday moments in between. My images have also illustrated two cookbooks.

Following my curiosity with a camera in the natural world is a favorite way to practice mindfulness, a meditative approach to noticing details and compositions, and making art for the joy of it. I love experimenting with techniques like intentional camera movement and slow shutter speed, using my camera to play with light, color and form. The resulting abstract images possess an energy that fascinates me. My art has been included in juried shows and found their way onto the walls of collectors. 

I'm a gardener of flowers and food, a mother of two phenomenal adult children, and I work for 21 Acres Center for Local Food and Sustainable Living, an education non-profit and agroecological farm focused on climate solutions in Woodinville, WA.

Protecting our planet and all who live here is of vital importance to me, so a portion of my fees are donated to organizations whose missions support environmental and/or social justice causes.

I live and work on Coast Salish and Stillaguamish land.
