My work is rooted in a curiosity about the mind: how perception is constructed, how attention shapes experience, and how meaning emerges from what we notice—and what we miss. A photograph is never just an image of the world; it is a record of a moment filtered through cognition, memory, and interpretation.

For me, art is all about slowing down and really seeing things—Seeing more deeply, seeing in new ways, and making deeper connections. Today, my focus is primarily on personal work—using photography and monotypes as a tool for inquiry into the mind, perception, and the experience of being aware, but in the past, I have helped my photography clients make these deeper connections with their brand, and with their audience. 

My clients have included Genentech, Black Lives Matter, Spike Lee, The Guardian UK, Teach for America, World Peace Foundation (Tufts University), Beacon Press, One Day Magazine, Brigitte Magazine, Foreign Landscapes Productions, GoWall, and YES! Magazine, among others. 

I’ve also taught photography through the Palo Alto Art Center and in private settings. My course, PhotoJournaling, combines image-making and writing as a way to observe not only the world, but one’s own patterns of thought and perception.  

If you would like to hear more about my journey on the sea and with art, have a look at the time I thought I was going to do a podcast with a popular art blogger, but ended up on camera with him…being interviewed…while making art…at the same time (insert internal scream here). It includes footage and photos of life on the boat, and what turned out to be a fun conversation with a really down to earth, kind artist : ).

Feel free to contact me. I delight in hearing from people, and I would love to connect!
