                                                                     ARTIST BIO


My photography is a reflection of what my heart connects with in the moment. My name means Maiden of the Woods and I've always felt connected to Nature. I love capturing the Spirit of a place, often using close angles and light to bring a magical, unique perspective.

I re-discovered my love of photography on a trip to New Zealand in 2008 with my husband Paul. We love to travel and experience the richness of other cultures and landscapes. And we’re always exploring nooks and crannies near our home too! Many of my favorite photos are from our own backyard...Carmel, Big Sur, Corralitos and Santa Cruz. I believe that art is like prayer and I hope my art stirs something inside you, making you feel more connected and intimate with everything around you. This is my intention, to bring more beauty and intimacy to each moment.

I photograph intuitively and organically, continuing to learn everyday. I’m a huge advocate of sharing our creative pursuits and exploring our inner artist no matter what our “day job” might be. I have a BA in Ayurveda (Holistic) Medicine and an MA in Spiritual Psychology. I work with businesses and entrepreneurs, bringing my expertise in customer care, admin operations and event coordination, allowing me the flexibility to pursue photography and volunteer work in the community. I contribute a portion of all photo sales to environmental projects I know and work with personally like www.AwakeningTheDreamer.org
