Growing up in a suburb West of Boston, I spent hours rearranging and decorating my bedroom. When I tired of that, I would head outside with my Kodak Instamatic Camera. My subjects were usually our English Setter, Spunky, and miniature Poodle, Gigi. Looking back, they were the most patient dogs on the planet.

Ultimately I chose to pursue photography which lead to a 25 year career as a professional photographer in Boston.  My specialty was shooting head shots and portfolios for actors and models. I absolutely loved working as a photographer, yet never lost my passion for decorating. My weekends were often spent wandering through flea markets or antique stores, making window treatments, trying out a new wall color or painting a dated piece of furniture. My husband and two sons never knew what room was going to be torn apart next.
