While living in Scotland this summer, we found Megan Boyd's cottage. Megan has been gone for several years and the cottage has been left to the elements. A well liked and well-remembered member of the community, Megan was also a world renowned as a fly tier extraordinaire. She was awarded the British Empire Medal which was delivered personally by Prince Charles. In this image and the series (in progress and with permission) I want to remember her in place. The cutouts represent what would have shared her world and my friend, the artist Helen Joy, has been happy to portray Megan.

I am a Fine Art photographer interested in storytelling, curiosity, and a lifelong desire to explore the world visually. After raising five children and living many roles—daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, widow, and partner—I discovered photography later in life. Nine years ago, my partner gave me my first camera, and in 2020 we transformed an old woodworking shop into my studio. Since then, I have dedicated myself to learning, experimenting, and creating work that reflects the stories I’ve carried for decades.
