SPEAKING

Photography is really storytelling in its rawest form. We weave our very own stories into the images we make--we share those stories and provide inspiration.
I am avilable to speak to your group or organization. Appearances usually run an hour to an hour and a half, but longer presentations can be arranged.
Please contact me via the phone/email at the top of this gallery. I'd be delighted to speak with you.

Thank you to Jan Doyle and Scott Kushman (of Scott Kushman Productions) for a great opportunity.

I was delighted to present at the NH Family Services Conference. Educators, students and providers collaborated to present a day of information and discussion.
Above is the discussion and question time that was post-presentation. I felt a deep connection to the people who attended my workshop.

Sharing Kindness

I was very excited to be asked to be a part of the "Rise Above Paralysis Gala" at the Boston Harbor Hotel. My artwork raised money for the Greater Boston Chapter of the National Spinal Cord Injury Association. So grateful to David Estrada and Beth Weaver for asking me to be involved. Please look at their website and the work that they do.

Exhibits

2014 was very busy with two long running collaborative exhibits. Working as a team with well-known photographers Scott Snyder and Jim Fenton we presented a 3 month long photography exhibit at Joppa Flats on Plum Island, MA. The show was well attended throughout its run,and we were so grateful for the 80 people that came through during the reception.

We moved this show to Provident Bank branches in Amesbury, MA and added photographer Lisa Pelonzi to the exhibit team. Our four styles mixed nicely and the well attended reception opened the show that ran from January 2015-May 2015. We are looking forward to more work together and reach of us has our own exhibiting plans in the near future.
