As long as I can remember I have loved both words and images. I received a Brownie camera on my eighth birthday and have been photographing ever since.  In art school I studied design, painting, and photography, and afterwards practiced as an art director for many years before returning to school to study literature and writing.  I love photgraphy in part because it accepts elements and echoes of my other media, and because the camera is a terrific traveler.  These days my photographs make themselves useful in magazine publications, and on the walls of homes and offices. 

I have written three books:  The Very Rich Hours (tales of travels to Greece, Orkney, the Everglades, and Belize); Angela The Upside Down Girl (stories about identity, community and place); and Green the Witch Hazel Wood (poems about particle physics, men, and ducks). 

My writing has been collected (in books such as Toward the Livable City; Best American Poetry, and The Road North), and appears in magazines (The Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker, The Nation, Orion, and Salon among them), and in literary journals including The Georgia Review, Southwest Review, and Agni.

The images in the galleries on this site are part of an ongoing focus on forms of wealth that do not, and cannot, appear on a consumerist gauge—for example, memory and light, the play of light, and the concept of enough.
