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. Photographing food is another passion, and my images have illustrated two cookbooks.

Following my curiosity with a camera in the natural world is my favorite way of practicing mindful, meditative photography, making art purely for the joy of it. Sometimes that means simply capturing interesting details and compositions that grab my attention. I also 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. 

The glorious Pacific Northwest has been my home since 1990. 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.
