Bio:
I have taught Photography and Filmmaking in independent schools, colleges, and extra-curricular programs for the past 15 years and I love sharing the magic of image making with all of my students. Here at Williston, I teach Digital Photography, Darkroom Photography, Filmmaking, 8th grade Photography and Film, and A.P. Studio Art. I am the Director and Curator of the Grubbs Gallery, and I teach Yoga in the afternoon program.
Education:
B.F.A., Photography, Massachusetts College of Art and Design; M.F.A., Fine Art, University of Minnesota
Academic and Professional Interests:
I am a certified Yoga instructor and have also studied and taught Ayurveda and Meditation. I absolutely love sharing the health and wellbeing benefits of these practices with the yoga students that I coach at Williston.
I am interested in analog photographic and filmmaking technologies including super8 and 16mm film, camera-less photography, anthotype and other alternative processes, darkroom photography, stop motion animation, and making cameras out of random objects and cardboard boxes.
Fun fact:
I once won first place in a dance competition at an adult prom.
