Hello...

I am a lifelong photographer who is inspired by all things Mother Nature. I transform photographic elements of natural imagery into intricate surface pattern designs. My studio is a curiosity shop, filled with collections found in the great outdoors (feathers, bones, shells, insects, etc.).

 

I disembody objects from the natural world, rendering them in the abstract. Many of my creations have an element of hide-and-seek. The image may just look like a pattern, but look past the negative space and you will be surprised by a tree or an insect or a bird. My work invites curiosity, encouraging viewers to look closer and discover the unexpected. My favorite reactions to my work have been "You make the weird beautiful!" and "You find beauty where others don't even know to look." 

​

I live in Seattle with my husband, and while our three grown children have flown the nest, our home is still lively, thanks to two spirited pandemic puppies, a wise old barn cat, two mischievous raccoon families, a watchful murder of crows, and an ever-changing chorus of backyard birds. I keep an eye on my owl box—perfectly positioned with a view of Mt. Rainier—hoping that one day, an owl will decide to make it home.
