1. Tell us about your work:
Six years ago I fell in love with a camera and the ability to capture moments and details. Ever since I have been shooting away! I have always valued life's smallest, simplest details and it is something I strive to capture in my work whether it be photographs of people, places, or things.

2. How did you come to be a professional artist/crafter?
I am still in the process, actually! I am still young and still have a lot to learn, but just constantly snapping pictures of everything and drawing from other photographers' techniques is the best way to develop my own eye and style. Google has also been my best friend over the years- any questions I have, Google never fails to find my answer!

3. Where do you draw your inspiration?
Tons of photographers have inspired me for different reasons whether it be their technique behind the camera, ability to capture a moment, their concepts, or their image processing style. I think we all draw bits and pieces from the photographers or artists we love and look up to and make it our own. I am highly inspired by nature and textures. I'll say: "Yup, I need to photograph that!"

4. What’s your favorite item to make?
I love photographing almost everything, but just shooting nature and landscapes is something I have always loved. I do it for myself initially, but if the photograph can reach someone else and make them happy or inspired, it is really awesome.

5. What’s your best seller?
I am just breaking into the portrait industry, but I think children's portraiture will be my greatest market. Who DOESN'T want pictures of their adorable 3 year old?

6. How long have you been in Rhode Island?
My whole life in Coventry. I love it here. As much as I want to get out and explore the country, Rhody will always be my home.

7. What do you {heart} about Rhode Island?
I love how small it is. Many people don't, but I love living in a community where everyone knows everyone. I love our beaches, our accents, our culture and of course Del's lemonade on a hot day!
