I have been in love with photography since I received my first camera, a Brownie, at age ten.  I painted in oils for several years, but eventually returned to my first love, photography.  My experience in oils is reflected in my photographs, which are often mistaken for paintings.  I have taken photography courses at Boston College, and through these courses and my early experience with black-and-white photography, I came to love the process of creating a finished photo from a negative in the darkroom, skills I now apply to my photographs in the "digital darkroom". 

I love photographing the beauty and power of nature, the intricate landscape of cities, the joy of  friendship and play, and finding the large in the small – streets that invite viewers to walk down them, doors that beckon people inside, the colorful splash or eloquent grace of a flower, the small details that are worlds in themselves.  I believe that we all need beauty to nourish our souls as much as we need food to nourish our bodies.  Art, in all its forms, has the power to heal, renew and strengthen our spirit.

I have photographed extensively in the northeastern United States, as well as in France, Italy, Austria, England, Scotland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.  I have received numerous awards for my work, and for the past several years have maintained a photo blog on my Beaux Regards Photographic Art Facebook page.  You can also follow me on Instagram, and your comments are always appreciated.

I am an active member of the Franklin Art Association and the Franklin Downtown Partnership.  For several years I also had an appointment as a Visiting Scholar at Boston College.  A New England native, I reside in Franklin, MA with my husband.
