As a classically trained pianist, I come to photography looking for visual melodies.  Just as music can take you on a journey, make you laugh and cry and touch the deepest part of your soul so can a photograph.  I am a storyteller and I look to create visual narratives that define a place in time.  I also am drawn to finding beauty in unexpected places, hoping to intrigue, inspire, and evoke a reaction from the viewer.  I am a champion of the overlooked, and see my photography as a way to create change, giving exposure to societal issues that need to be addressed. 

With my work in "Beauty and Wisdom" I want to celebrate a soon-to-be-lost generation and show how these women thrive in a society that is so focused on the beauty of youth. My intention is to alter the perception of beauty, show its agelessness and honor the women who came before me.
