I am exploring the landscape Doris Leeper preserved offically for years to come in New Symrna Beach where I recenty moved to from NYC/NJ life. As a member of the collective ArtistsThinkAboutWater. I discovered this beautiful moss that survives in my mist and has and will be forever a value to the environment. I explore my affection for this resource.

My photography is focused on healing, community, sexual issues and self-portraiture. Projects have led to four books and my photographs have been collected by the Norton Museum; University of Texas, Austin and a self-portrait show in special collections, 2022 at Bryn Mawr College. As an art documentary photographer I have had the chance to bring images from gallery walls to media that, for example, helped change Finland's government to stop stamping passports with the HIV stigma. In my photographs of women and myself I am devoted to raising awareness through creative experiments.
