I have been around photographs and photography my whole life: my father was a NYC free-lance advertising photographer. He handed me my first camera, a used Nikon F, for my 18th birthday, later gave me his first camera, a Rolleiflex when I was in grad school, and since, has passed on his 8×10 Deardorff, which needs more action! I thought I would be a fiber artist, but a photo 1 course in college changed my direction. Coming full circle, stitching and fiber materials are now a part of my photographic practice.
I am a Boston area artist and consultant. My work has been shown regionally and nationally, is published in journals, books and blogs, including Manifest’s International Photography Annual 3, The Danforth Museum, profiled in SlowSpace.org, and is housed in private collections. I have a BFA in Photography from the University of New Hampshire and an MFA in Photography from Bennington College. A career educator teaching students of varied ages at different institutions including the Boston School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA), Wellesley College, The Griffin Museum of Photography and Concord Academy, I also work privately with clients helping them with portfolio development for admission to college, art school and graduate school. My studio is at The Umbrella Arts Center in Concord, MA.
