A bit about Me

Originally from New Jersey, I began my artistic life as a film photographer. My primary interest was in the "unpredictableness" of pinhole, self-portraiture, and alternative processes. Working in gum bichromate printing, a 19th century printing technique using hand-applied emulsions, sparked my desire to move beyond straight, traditional photography.

Wanting to physically engage with artwork creation that was different from printing in the darkroom, I combine film and digital photography with encaustic, bookbinding, mixed media, and stitching.

My work has been shown in galleries in Seattle, Missouri, and New York, as well as in print publications like the Pinhole Journal and Lenswork Magazine. In the 1990s, I was a founding member of the FotoCircle Gallery in Seattle. I live in western Washington state with my husband and dog, among the birds, mammals, and amphibians that visit our slightly wild and brambly property.
