Author's Bio

I travel, photograph, and write about quiet, soulful things: nature, place, a sense of wonder, loss and living forward, being human. I recently attended Writing Workshops' Mackinac Island Writers Retreat in September 2023, and am so grateful for the support in part by a professional development grant from Access Copyright Foundation.
