Artist Statement
My love of color is reflected in my photography. As far back as I can remember I have had an interest in photography. I often combined my images with quotes and poems that I did in calligraphy and gave most of my creations away as gifts. I became a member of the Exeter Arts Committee in 2009 and displayed my photos in my first official art show in December 2009! Through my photographic journey, you will see those places and things that bring me joy!
I specialize in Senior Portraits, Children & Family Portraits and "Themed mini-sessions". I am available to shoot events and small weddings as well. Another love I have is Landscape/Nature photography!
Biography
I have been fortunate to have lived in several beautiful places in the United States. I grew up in Fairhaven, Massachusetts and fell in love with New Hampshire while I attended the University of New Hampshire where I earned my B. S. in Physical Education in 1976. I taught high school P.E. at Exeter AREA High School for 10 years and moved to Boothbay Harbor, Maine where I taught elementary P.E. for 5 1/2 years before earning my Masters degree in Computers in Education from Lesley College in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I became the Technology Coordinator in Boothbay and was in Maine for a total of 12 years before venturing across the country to accept a job in Los Angeles, California. While teaching in L.A. I also opened “Fit 2 Function”, a personal training studio where I was a Z-Health Movement Coach. I did silk painting and facilitated Drum & Rhythm circles for health and wellness there as well.
In 2008 my life pretty much came full circle when I accepted a job as Technology Coordinator at Lincoln & Main Street Schools in Exeter, NH. I was class advisor for the EAHS class of 1984 and now I am having their children as my students! In July of 2011, I opened Anahata Gallery with Deb Wheeler-Bean which was open until I moved to Hampton in 2013.
I was a member of the Hampton Arts Network in Hampton, NH and had a small studio at Lane House arts Center in Hampton. I entered #RetirementJoy in 2019 and have the flexibility to photogaph to my heart's delight now.
I love the ocean and am a true New Englander in my soul. I’m a Celtics fanatic (some would call me obsessive!) and I love going to their games in Boston. Life is good! My heart is happy!
