I grew up on a beef-cattle farm in Pennsylvania, where mother nature, the animals, the farm and the seasons taught me about unconditional love for the environment and everything in it. I grew up in an artistic household, the proud granddaughter of a bass trombonist who played for the New York Philharmonic. My grandfather also founded the American Brass quintet and dedicated his life to playing music in New York and across the globe. His legacy filled me with a deep love for the beautiful and creative works we humans are capable of creating.

Initially, I was classically trained as a painter. During college I discovered that photography was the instrument through which I could express my joy of color and form. I fell in love with the light on Cape Cod, which has a magical and emotional element that
I have never experienced anywhere else.
