I’m a Maine-based photographer drawn to the space where water meets land—the shifting threshold of tide, light, and wildness. My work is rooted in stillness and attention. I’m not just looking for the dramatic moment but the one that speaks quietly: a seal watching from the edge, a whale disappearing beneath the surface, a gull resting just before flight. My background in wildlife rehabilitation informs how I see. I watch for posture, presence, and how animals communicate through pauses and gestures. I try to photograph them in a way that holds respect—not just for their form but for the space they take up in the world. I’m also drawn to the play of light through water—moments when sunlight refracts and dances across stones, seaweed, and sand. These images are less about the objects and more about movement, reflection, and how water bends light into something fleeting and beautiful. They’re intimate studies of clarity, distortion, and wonder. In another part of my practice, I create what I call Sandbox Art—carefully arranging found shoreline objects like sand dollars, shells, and stones on a sand canvas. Once the composition resonates, I photograph and digitally enhance it, transforming natural elements into something familiar and uniquely reimagined. Each image I share, whether of wildlife or wild places, is meant to be more than just beautiful. I want it to speak—to evoke presence, memory, connection, and the deep stillness that lives at the edge of things.
