While I  have been many things; an athlete, nurse, adventurer and friend, I have always been a maker and artist. My practice centers around digital and analog photography. Textiles; knitting, quilting and needlework are parallel practices. The physicality in hiking to remote landscapes and the transformation of fiber into something wearable, speak to my love of adventure and the construction of something tangible. It is important I am a participant, not just observer in these areas.

However, in portraiture, my goal is to be the observer. Using a medium format camera in both digital and analog form, asks of the photographer that they be slow and patient. My portraits are solitary, reflective and quiet.

After 2 years working in St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, England, my sister and I spent 8 months traveling around the world. It was an incredibly rich and formidable experience. By 40, I had been to every continent, including running a marathon on Antarctica. This experience led to my life long fascination with the Polar regions. My husband Bill and I have backpacked extensively around the world, most recently a 10 day expedition in Svalbard, Norway. We recently completed a winter traverse of Trail Ridge Road, the highest contiguous road in North America.
