Heavenly Bamboo Cyanotype on Arches Platine 2025

I am a photographer and image-maker drawn to the alchemy of light, chemistry, and time. My work blends historic and experimental processes, a dialogue between the past and the present.
My journey with cyanotype began when I encountered the luminous marine and botanical studies of Anna Atkins, the 19th-century English artist often called the first woman photographer. Her work and the work of other early photographers sparked something elemental in me.
I’ve shared these vintage processes  in places where nature becomes the darkroom: along the banks of the Snake and Nooksack Rivers, inside a solar greenhouse in Boise, on the shores of Hawai‘i, and across the shifting tidal flats of Puget Sound.
