Celebrating Duxbury, My Hometown

Artist Bio

I grew up in Duxbury MA with an amazing ocean backdrop and I cannot seem to imagine a life without being around the ocean on a regular basis. Another thing that has also become clear is my love for the sun. I used to love spending days at the beach, so much so that I ended up with stage IV Melanoma skin cancer and I had to then stay out of the sun. I now have curbed my sun exposure to be during the morning and evening hours when it is healthy for me to be out there capturing all the beauty around me. I seem to view the world through a different lens now that I realize how lucky I am to still be here each day. It gives each day a little more meaning. So grateful!
