fine art photography

I have been making art since my youth, spent partly in Ohio and Virginia. I graduated from the University of Vermont summa cum laude with degrees in Psychology and Studio Art. I consider myself a generalist, but as of late I've been most enamored with black and white photography and traditional darkroom processes. I also paint and draw. This year I began seeking licensure as a K-12 Art educator and a Masters degree in Art Education at Saint Michael's College. My wonderful husband, Dave, has unflinchingly supported my creative ambitions for seven years. We make our home in Georgia, Vermont, where we enjoy outdoor adventures, movies, public radio, social activism and playing with our two kitties, Lily and Mikey. I am also an active member of the First Church of Christ Scientist, Burlington.
