Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I'm a queer artist, bassist, cybersecurity technical program manager, wife, mom, and grandmother, living and creating in New Jersey — and this little corner of the internet is where I get to share the way I see the world.
My life has never fit neatly into one box, and honestly, I love that about it. By day, I design and protect complex systems in cybersecurity; on stage and in rehearsal, I lock into the groove holding down the low end on bass; at home, my life is grounded by my wife, our children, and the joy of watching our family grow across generations. All of that — the technical, the musical, the deeply personal — shows up in every photo I take.
🌸 Rhythm, Structure, and the Everyday
Whether I'm designing secure system architecture, locking into a drum pocket, or framing a shot, I'm drawn to rhythm, tension, and structure. Photography lets me bring that same instinct out into the world around me.
My lens loves the quiet architecture of everyday life — weathered facades, sharp angles, a shadow that lands just right, the geometry most of us walk past without ever looking up. I hope these galleries invite you to slow down and notice those same small, beautiful things.
✨ Where Art Meets AI
We're living through a wonderfully strange and exciting moment, where AI and new digital tools are reshaping what's possible in visual art almost by the day. I work in tech, so I lean into that with curiosity rather than hesitation — but I also believe that genuine human perspective matters more now than ever.
No algorithm has:
- Stood on an ordinary street corner at dusk, waiting for the light to hit the concrete just right.
- Navigated decades in the tech industry as an out lesbian woman.
- Felt the physical thump of a low bass note moving through a stage floor.
- Lived the deep, grounded love and lineage of a family spanning generations.
So think of this gallery as a warm little conversation between real, physical observation and modern digital craft. I don't use technology to replace what I see or to invent scenes out of thin air — I use it as a thoughtful creative partner, one that helps me sharpen and share an authentic point of view that's still very much anchored by a human eye and heart. I'd love for you to wander through and see that cross-section for yourself.
🎶 My Creative Toolkit
Creative work rarely happens in just one lane. The mediums I move between — shaping low frequencies, chasing ambient light, building thoughtful digital spaces — are really all the same instinct wearing different outfits: finding structure, balance, and groove wherever I look.
| Creative Domain | Instruments & Mediums | What It Brings to the Work |
|---|---|---|
| Visual & Digital | Prime lenses, deliberate architectural framing, Google Cloud Platform, generative AI & digital processing | Turns real-world geometry into balanced compositions, using modern tools to support — never replace — the photographer's eye. |
| Sonic & Rhythm | 4- & 5-string electric basses, analog preamps, modulation & dynamic shaping pedals | Trains an ear for pacing and dynamic weight — the sonic version of negative space and grounding in a photograph. |
| Systems & Architecture | Cybersecurity frameworks, technical program workflows, logic modeling | Sharpens an eye for structural integrity and the hidden foundations quietly holding up the visible world. |
🌼 Influences & Touchstones
- Everyday Urban GeometryThe brutalist concrete, industrial brickwork, and accidental shadows of the Northeast corridor — utilitarian spaces that turn out to hold unexpected warmth in the right light.
- The Low-End GrooveClassic rock energy, post-punk minimalism, and melodic basslines, where a little restraint and space matter just as much as the notes played.
- Queer Visibility & LineageThe strength and perspective that come from showing up — creatively, technically, and as family — openly, unapologetically, and with love.
- Human-Centered TechnologyA belief that technology should always serve human storytelling — a collaborative amplifier for a real, lived point of view, never a replacement for it.
“The art isn't just the structure in the frame — it's the life brought to the moment of looking.”
