I beg you…to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer… - Rainer Maria Rilke

This site is the stuff of dreams. Really. It is the product of the long unwinding of time, the benefactor of all the late nights spent when I was young thinking up crazy things and writingwritingwriting and contructing intricate collages. Then, once my sweet son was born, I began looking through the lens of my camera with intrigue and delight. My degree and current profession are all centered around the sciences (although, really, childbirth is quite an art in my book) and I’ve been itching to really try my hand at formal creativity. Maybe even try to make a living at it. And so. Here we are.

This blog is meant to be a merger of two current passions of my mine: graphic design and photography. I’m excited to share with you the projects and images that I’ve crafted and captured. However, I want this blog to be more than just an exhibition of what I am capable of. There are some exceedingly talented artists out there and they push me every day to examine my work and my goals as a practicing artist. Some sites just tickle my fancy. In any case, I’d love to showcase them. If I get a thrill, why not share it?

I can’t wait to see what becomes of this wild teacup ride.
