I’m a photographer and cyanotype artist. My work centers on hand-printed cyanotypes created from my own photographs, particularly images of botanicals, landscape, and the Lowcountry.

Each cyanotype begins as a photograph. Through a slow, hands-on process, those images are transformed through the traditional cyanotype process and printed in Prussian blue. Exposed by the sun on cotton rag paper, every print carries subtle variations in tone, texture, and edges. No two are ever exactly alike.

My years in interior design taught me to layer and edit with intention. That instinct shapes not only the work I create, but the way I think about living with art. I also work with homeowners on art selection, placement, framing, and building collections over time.

Alongside my cyanotypes, I offer a small collection of fine art photographic prints, guided by the same attention to composition, light, and restraint.

I'm honored to be represented by Miller Gallery and to have my work featured by Serena & Lily.

I've called a lot of places home. Seattle, Southern California, Boston, and Chicagoland. But for the past fifteen years, Charleston has shaped my work. Its historic architecture, gardens, tidal marshes, live oaks, and changing light continue to influence my photography.

When my camera is set aside, I'm happiest at home on the marsh with my husband Tim, our daughter Cora, and our golden retriever, Lila.
