"In every object there is inexhaustible meaning; the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing" - Thomas Carlyle
I grew up in a family of artists and always surrounded by art. As a child, I was constantly pulling my parent’s oversized art books off the shelves, making up stories to go along with the images. One of those books had a portrait of my mother as a young woman in it. A photojournalist had captured her image during the 1968 Democratic Convention, where she was watching riots unfold from a hotel room. I would stare at her complex expression for hours, in awe that time and being were frozen for me to see. Later, in high school, I spent days in the attic digging through boxes of faded discolored slides, searching through my grandparent's vacation snapshots and piecing together family history.
Photography allows me to depict the world as I see it, and encapsulate life and identity. I find it breathtaking when soft light mingles with passing actions or brief expressions. I love the fact that these silent moments of perfect natural composition can be viewed beyond my own eyes, and that they can be repeatedly reflected upon by others for years to come.
I have over ten years of photography experience and am a member of Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI), PhotoEmerge and the Photographic Resource Center (PRC). I am based in the Metrowest area, near Framingham, and serve the New England area, including Boston.
