A resident of San Antonio since 2009 and the mother of four boys, ages 8-15, my practice has emerged in midst of my experience as a mother. Motherhood, like all caretaking, is full of mundane, repetitive tasks that are also constantly cycling from beginning to end. Photography and creative experimentation became necessary emotional and intellectual fuel for maintaining a personal sense of self and space and transcendence. The brief snatches of time available without interruption created a sense of urgency that overcame the creative paralysis that can arise from too-large vistas of time, which has been an invaluable personal teacher for trust in the creative process.
