Creating and sharing imagery that stimulates the senses is my strategy for everyday living. It is the root of my inspiration working as a contemporary visual artist in photography and mixed media.

My mixed media work is deeply influenced by the coastal environs of living on Cape Ann, Massachusetts and my ever evolving garden along with many years of working with global design leader, Herman Miller. All reflect in the graphic simplicity of my work. I am drawn to sculptural elements and rhythmic compositions.

With my camera I enjoy capturing a “sense of place” by weaving a narrative that focuses on the discovery of “off the grid“ locations. I am especially drawn to the details. These are the mini moments that our eyes often do not see.

I am a lifelong champion of arts and culture.  I have served on multiple boards, consulted with the Peabody Essex Museum, MA, and earned an advanced certificate in Fundraising Management from Boston University. I channeled my business leadership into my role as the executive director of the Marblehead Arts Association, Marblehead, MA, before redirecting my energy in pursuit of my own artistic path. 

For the past 3 years I co-produced Cape Ann ARTWaves, for 1623 Studios Media, Gloucester, Massachusetts, dedicated to conversations with talented area Artists & Makers. Cape Ann has been attracting creatives for centuries. This program was conceived with a mission of providing uplifting stories and inspiration during these recent uncertain times. The 75 conversations are now under the stewardship of the Cape Ann Museum to educate future generations.

The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness.
