ARTIST STATEMENT

Luminosity is my muse. I can spend hours watching the sun trace its circular arc across the sky, embracing the shifting angles of light as the seasons ebb and flow throughout the year. Drawn to the people and places closest to me, I photograph intuitively, allowing light, form, color and texture to give meaning and metaphor to my pictures. They often reveal nuanced details such as the soft play of shadows dancing on the side of a boat that I simply did not see in the moment. Or the illusion of depth in a landscape coalescing around a small branch or tree. 

There is a mystery and a quiet pleasure in making and processing pictures that heightens my sense of seeing. I am often surprised to discover that there is more to our world than meets the eye.

WRITING AND TEACHING

"What Will You Remember?"

Views, Reviews and Interviews

Since 2015 I have written articles for the online photography magazine What Will You Remember? which was founded by my colleague Elin Spring. Initially, I reviewed photography books, but in 2018, I joined as the Associate Editor and am writing exhibition reviews, interviewing the artists, curators and gallerists that are making and showing photgraphs in Boston and around New England. We have a vibrant community of image makers here, which makes writing about the photography scene a pleasure. 

I am an adjunct professor of at Clark University, but I am also available for private mentorship online or in person for critique, portfolio development and writing artist or project statements.
