Photographer and printmaker based in Santa Monica, CA.

After years of applying paint and ink on paper to create images, I now use the camera as a starting point. All of my imagery originates outdoors. I anticipate the conditions by closely following weather and surf reports, although I never know what magic might happen in the landscape once there.

In the studio, I create prints combining traditional and digital art practices. Every image is printed in house, to the highest archival standards. Editions are limited to 20 and are pencil signed.

I’m a surfing grandma who brakes for Pacific sunsets, local mangoes, and the superbloom.
