Thanks for visiting my website! I currently live in Buxton, Maine, where in addition to photography, I work in student services at Biddeford High School. Though I grew up in Massachusetts, I’ve lived all over the country and have been lucky to travel to even more spectacular places. In 2005, I earned my B.S. in photography from Ithaca College, and in 2010, a Master of Arts in teaching from Smith College. I’ve lived and taught in Arkansas, Massachusetts, Washington, DC, and again in Ithaca before moving here.

For the past ten years, with less time to print and frame my work at home, I’ve been collaborating with a company that prints photographs on wood. It’s a relatively uncommon medium, and I love seeing how they come out—check out some of the results under the “Photos on Wood” page! If you’re interested in ordering a print on wood, they come in a variety of sizes and are priced accordingly. A selection of my work can also be seen at the Northlight Gallery in Kennebunkport, Maine, and Canterbury Hill Studio in Rockport, Massachusetts. If you’re in either area, stop by to see my work, as well as the other amazing artists.
