I have always had a passion for the Arts. I started experimenting with photography in a Graphic Design course during high school. It made me realize this was what I wanted to do in life and I enrolled at Heartwood College of Art in Kennebunk, Maine. After receiving my Certificate in Photography I started to do weddings, senior portraits and my own creative art; along with craft fairs and showings at local libraries.
Dreamlike, mysterious, antique, vintage: these are some of the words that have described my work. Though my style has changed some over the years, memories and nostalgia is what I desire in a photograph. I want you to feel connected to the piece even if it's a picture of a sandwich. My photography is very ranged, I don't focus on just one subject type, as long as it sparks my creative eye then I am drawn to it. Black & white, color and slide film along with a unique process of photo transfers are the mediums in which I have used. I have been experimenting with digital art for a while and use this as my main medium now.
I have my own business called East Coasters, where I do an image transfer of my photographs from around New England and Nautical Maps onto stone coasters. Along with making my own jewelry line called Seaweeds by East Coasters; I also still do weddings & portraits with a retro/vintage/old time New England feel to them.
