Meet the Artist

My journey as an artist began at the age of six when I received my first Care Bear camera, sparking a lifelong passion for photography. This early fascination grew stronger in high school, where I was introduced to the art of darkroom photography. There, I had the opportunity to develop my first photograph, an experience that solidified her desire to pursue photography and to inspire future generations, much like the mentors who had shaped her own artistic path. I am a teacher and I would like to inspire my students the way teachers in my past have inspired me.

My dedication to photography continued to flourish throughout her academic career, culminating in notable accomplishments.

 

WHY PHOTOGRAPHY?

MAKING AN IMPACT

I am making an impact because I lead by example—as a teacher, mentor, and practicing photographer. I stay engaged in my craft by continually learning, evolving with new technologies, and regularly showcasing my work through monthly exhibitions and personal blogging. This dedication not only fuels my own creativity but also enriches my teaching. I strive to give my students the kind of education I wish I had in high school—one that empowers them to explore their voices, master their tools, and see themselves as artists. By modeling lifelong learning and artistic discipline, I aim to inspire the next generation to pursue their passions with confidence and curiosity.

Kaleidoscope Series

This series began with a deep love for flowers and kaleidoscopes bringing us back to childhood. This series was a lot of fun. It began as a class lesson which evolved into a full blown series of images for me.

Feminine Reminisce

“We mourn loved ones for a time. Memories will fade with each generation until no memory remains." A journey has come to an end; a piece of history is lost again. " -Mac McGovern 2019 I developed this photographic series to illustrate the continuity of female generations through a physical and representational overlap. The project is inspired by two remarkable women who have profoundly influenced my life. My grandmother has been a significant figure throughout my existence, accompanying me on numerous road trips where we captured countless photographs, though the specifics of those journeys have faded from her memory. I will always treasure the laughter and joy we experienced together during those times. The second woman is my best friend Lauren, who I met in middle and high school and who tragically passed away a few years ago. We shared countless moments of joy, sorrow, and significant milestones during our time together. One woman remains a source of grief for me while she is still alive, while the other occupies my thoughts in a continuous loop of cherished memories from our youth and early adulthood before her premature passing. By layering the images, I aim to highlight the similarities between these women and the unique shapes they create within the photographs. I captured the pictures against a white background, layering them and adjusting the opacity to reveal both photos simultaneously. To enhance their delicate quality, I chose to present the images in light boxes. Additionally, I utilized the cyanotype printing technique to impart a vintage and historical aesthetic.

Spring Exploration

I recently had the pleasure of connecting with a talented fellow photographer during a photo walk through Philadelphia. As we explored the city together, it was fascinating to see how we could capture the same spaces yet produce entirely different images—each shaped by our unique perspectives, interests, and artistic styles. The experience was a powerful reminder of how personal and diverse the language of photography can be.

Interwoven of Past and Present

This project emerged from a period of deep personal loss. In the midst of grief, I turned to both new and old photographs—seeking connection, meaning, and healing. As I sifted through these captured moments, I began to see each image as a puzzle piece, each person and memory a fragment of identity. Through this process, I discovered that photographs are more than just visual records—they are the threads that weave together who we are. This body of work is an exploration of memory, connection, and the enduring presence of those who shape us.
