As I am sure you can tell, I take my camera everywhere I go now, in hopes of catching another find. This trip was no exception.

In my journey to find these things, I have gathered helpers who help me find the creatures and protect me from getting hit by cars.(phew!) This trip my dad joined in the help. For this find he almost went head first into a filthy pond.. he didn't luckily.. thanks dad!

On a recent adventure I found another friend to add to my collection.

*This project is one that I have to admit is a tad morbid for some. So if you have a semi weak stomach you might not want to look, but they really aren't all that gross.

Promise..


In my life, while doing art, I find myself looking at my life and things around me for inspiration for photography assignments and projects. I often feel that my best inspiration comes from what is in my little world. About six months ago I was challenged with creating a body of work. I wasn't sure where to look for an idea that could create a body of work, and so naturally I turned to my life. At the beginning of this project, my sweet little dog tyke had just been diagnosed with T-cell Lymphoma. It is a rare, extremely hard to treat form of skin cancer. We were told that the outcome looked bleak and that we should spend all of our time with him. I started to panic and worry, as any mother (since he is my child) would. I didn't know what the future would hold or how I would accept it. So in efforts to help myself feel okay with death I started this project.

Confrontations with Death.

I have decided to create an even bigger body of work, so it is in the works. When I find some new fun ones I will post them and let you know. It will be a show I am putting on this fall, I will also let you know details on that.

For those of you wondering.. Tyke did pass away. He fought for four and a half months to beat this cancer and was on the path to recovery when he left us.

I have found a passion of mine. I love to photograph details in and around us. I have discovered this from a wonderful teacher who has really opened me up to looking for these details. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
