About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to be bold enough to choose love.

ABOUT ME

Open eyes and heart, appreciation is the food of the soul. I'm a feminist documentary photographer, visual artist, aspiring farmer, therapeutic photography teacher, lover, laugher, mover and shaker. I currently live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina with my partner, two dogs, two cats and 9 chickens.

PHILOSOPHY

to live fully, love fully.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent part of a summer in Scotland and for one weekend found myself at Holy Island, in a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery/nature reserve, meditating and running with wild ponies.

And, I'll never forget the first time I stood under a Redwood in Northern California.

Oh, and speaking of trees, I recently had the pleasure of hugging the Angel Oak in South Carolina. I love communing with trees.

life is amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to start an art collective someday- a free space to share and grow with a community of open-minded, loving souls. I also teach therapeutic photography classes and am happy to teach the little bit that i know to anyone who yearns to learn. Also, I grew up on a farm and am interested in herbology and sustainable agriculture - always willing to teach, learn, and work together!
