The work shown here is from various bodies of work in separate galleries on this website:

 

 * Associations Within contain scans from old scientific books overlaid on top of my photographs.  I am thinking about what is thought of as progressive and correct. I ask questions, which in turn, create my own egocentric philosophies, theories and definitions of the basics: birth, life, death; an exploration in thought.  

​​

* Mixed Media, Painting, Graphic Design incorporates a variety of materials, concepts and approaches including a 68 page sketchbook of drawings for the theme, In Flight for the Sketchbook Project which was exhibited in San Francisco, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Austin, Portland, Maine and was housed in the Brooklyn Art Library in NYC until some of the books burned while being transported to a new location. A digital copy can be seen here: https://sketchbookproject.com/library/1013.

​

​* If Eyes Could Hear is work in progress. It started as of a series made under the hush and darkness of the early morning on New Year's Day. The silent intensity of long exposures and darkness illuminate a world that our eye cannot fully see, a world that our ears cannot fully hear, as if light and sound are off in the distance.  Details are muted through the intentional blur or fog; the photo becomes dreamlike. It is parallel to the experience of moving through darkness, knowing that a force leads you but never seeing that force. 

​

* Postcards You'd Never Buy, Write or Send is a spin off from Associations Within. It harnesses some political undertones but many of the thoughts are more universal to humanity. It is intended to be a series of front and backs of postcards from a designer's perspective, not the receiver, though I have sent some of these to a childhood friend using a gallery's address in which my friend is invited to the gallery to read it. This challenges the gallery to situate the postcard within their space, interpreting my intention via imagery & message. This series is a work in progress & will include various European cities; however, it started in Berlin. 

​

* The 180 Day Self Portrait Project includes images shot each eve after a day of teaching high school art in India. 180 days is the amount of time I spent teaching. 1+8+0 = 9  - an auspicious number in India - assuming something good was coming my way.  I struggled living in India with the pollution, population density & seeing the effects of the Caste system. This work is married with words from my journal about my raw feelings and happenings while living in India.

 

* HumaNatureScapes was my thesis work at Savannah College of Art & Design, in which I studied how humans interact with their space - commenting on how the developed world is a replace, not a repair society (anymore). Objects such as a sofa, bus, radio, Venetian blinds - things that were once meaningful - find themselves in forgotten spaces, mostly in the southeastern region of the US in mosquito filled swamps, and dirt roads deep in the forest.

 

* Contemporary Landscape is how I see what we consider our new landscape, not necessarily rural spaces. It's about human's fingerprint on the world. 

 

* Around the World are travel images mostly from Morocco, Mexico & India.  

 

* Fone Fotos are just that.

 

* Kinder displays daily moments from my life as a mother when my kids were younger.

​​

 *Paraguay- Film Camera 1999 are photos I took while living in 'El Corazon de Sur America' for three years. I wandered around with a film camera in a part of the world that was 30 years behind the times, just as the world was on the brink with digital photography taking over. These subjects are what I consider quintessentially Paraguayan but through my lens. 

​

* Publications include articles I wrote, reviews of my work or freelance photography in publications such as Martha's Vineyard Magazine and University of North Carolina- Southern Cultures Magazine.   

 

* The Art Education under the 'More Tab'  is a gallery dedicated to honour my student's work, as that is what I do daily. 

​

* Tutoring & University Portfolio Advising is where my expertise of teaching Upper School Visual Arts internationally for over 20 years comes into play.
