I am interested in themes surrounding identity and connection, especially during the transitional stages of life. I seek out gesture and body language to help tell the story of the struggle between external appearance and what lies beneath. I photograph real-life situations as they are unfolding in the moment. These are moments of ordinary life, when I witness the body language of others which reminds me of something I have experienced in my past, that makes me want to capture the moment.
I have been a professional photographer for over twenty years, but did not enter the fine art and documentary world of photography until I began my MFA at Maine Media College. Before then, I had worked on a long term project photographing special needs children and their siblings. Sine then, I have focused on issues of identity and belonging in all of my work, whether social documentary or fine art.
