ABOUT

I was born in Boston, Massachusetts and raised in the city of Brockton, a once flourishing shoe town south of the city.

At 5 years of age, I clearly remember looking out the window into my backyard, at the long awaited burst of the eastern spring, and wondering if what I was seeing was what everybody else saw.

I still feel there is a full and simple pleasure in seeing. Little moments are illuminated, a gesture is revealed, a simple beauty can take hold.  Making photographs as I wander through the world, looking out from within, I delight in the play of light and color which direct my discovery.   Spontaneously acknowledging what is continually unfolding, my photographs quietly celebrate the grace and rhythm of life.

I have been deeply absorbed by the landscape where I find myself, photographing, hiking, or working in my garden. Portland Oregon has been home for the last 30 years. I grow and harvest medicinal herbs, vegetables and flowers, and remain awed by the miraculous potential of seeds.
