Done For The Season

Done for the Season, November 2025

I almost didn’t take this picture. It was my husband who convinced me to give it a try. All I could see was more bright, high-contrast lighting, which can be tricky when it comes to taking pictures. And all I could think was, more pumpkins, really? But I was so happy to feel the sun on my face, to feel the cool autumn breeze, to walk across the uneven ground of the field one more time that I relented, and took the picture anyway. One last view of this season to give thanks for.

With Enthusiasm

Most of the photographs I take are just snap shots of my everyday life. 
They are not great works of art, or important in any way. 
But I take each one with the enthusiasm of a beginner. Never really knowing what I am doing. And somehow, I’m okay with that.

Work-of-Art

It’s the most natural thing in the world. Art helps us understand ourselves as human beings and makes our lives on this planet better.

I love to mix-and-match art. I sometimes have a theme, but I’m never strict in its interpretation. I buy art, mostly from thrift shops, and hang it alongside my photographs. I love to collect art across categories, materials, periods and cultures—always with the idea of creating a conversation between the pieces that feels organic and intimate. I believe that an object's value is not necessarily dictated by its price. I’ve passed on expensive pieces of “real” art in favor of fun and funky pieces that speak to my heart. Art that I fall in love with is coming home with me!

This Season

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” —Maya Angelou

It often feels as though we are rushing from one thing to the next, with little time to stop in between, to rest, to pay attention, to take it all in. But when I have my camera in hand, I am fully present, noticing each and every free and beautiful thing this abundant earth still has to offer up to me, here and now, before the next season.
