My family and I take a lot of pictures and video! For me, It started as a way to stay connected with friends on Instagram and Tik Tok. But over the last five years, we have made an effort to use photographs to document our family experiences. My mom surprised me last Christmas with a wall full of Mixtiles (photos printed on big canvas squares) in my bedroom.
I look at these pictures every day and am reminded of the personal journey to find my authentic self and the role that travel, nature, and animals play.
I have had some great opportunities to spend time in beautiful places like Hawaii, Costa Rica, Paris, London, Utah, Montana, Maine, and Vermont. I like to capture the places I have traveled because it helps me remember how I felt at that moment. It is no surprise to me that many of my favorite photos are of nature. The solitude of a quiet walk in the woods calms my feelings of anxiety. I feel very grateful that my family lives in Vermont in this time of Covid-19, and nature and fresh air surround me.
