1. Tell us about your work
I am an outdoor digital photographer who specializes in fine art. Most of my work reflects the beauty of the northeast USA.
2. How did you come to be a professional artist/crafter?
Time and dedication. To me, if something is worth doing, it's worth overdoing. Growing up in a beach house in Connecticut, I would often find myself staring at gorgeous landscapes and seascapes thinking to myself, "That would make a great photo." in 2007 I got tired of wishing I knew about photography; so I started teaching myself the basics with a point and shoot. Needless to say, I quickly developed an addiction and have been pushing my skills and knowledge forward ever since.
3. Where do you draw your inspiration?
I draw inspiration from natural beauty, the Bible, and other great photographers around the world. I have been fortunate to meet and work with professionals across the nation and the UK.
4. What’s your favorite item to make?
With all the mediums out there for photographers these days, it's hard to pick a favorite, but I must say I'm a sucker for canvas wraps. I've printed on metal and a wide range of professional photo papers, but nothing looks quite as impactful as a nice giclee gallery wrap.
5. What’s your best seller?
To be honest I don't really have a "Best Seller." If I ask 10 different people what their favorite photo is, I'll get 10 different answers. But that's one of the things I love about my work.
6. How long have you been in Rhode Island?
I've been living in Rhode Island for the past 8 years, and I grew up in East Lyme CT.
7. What do you {heart} about Rhode Island?
I love the communities in Rhode Island. There are so many artists and crafters here that it's hard to not be inspired by others. I also love the islands and coastline. I grew up on the water in CT so RI still feels like home to me.
8. Please include anything else you’d like to add:
All of the work on my site is available for purchase. I offer standard matte paper prints starting with 8x12 sizes. I also provide (and recommend) limited edition giclee gallery wraps. I'm also available for commercial projects and my work can be found in boutiques, hotels, and art galleries throughout Rhode Island!
