Strange Roots: A recap in photos

Two years in the making, bringing my first Monhegan show, Strange Roots, from concept to a fully realized body of work displayed at the Edison Studio was a mini act of courage—one that ultimately led me to an unexpected surrender to personal triumph.

I have many to thank.

To truly be seen through my photography by my hometown community was a rewarding return to my own strange, yet beautiful roots.

Between Peaks and Monhegan, the prints traveled by boat five times..and counting. A few are scheduled to return to Monhegan later in the season.

I am grateful to Daphne for gifting me the time, creative freedom, and space to share my work in her beautifully curated studio.

To my fearless female models - Angela, Christian, Emily, Jackie, and Sierra — who showed up, shed their inhibitions in the chill of fading light and damp spaces, indulged my vision, and journeyed back in time to become spirits, ghosts, and playful muses.

Deep gratitude to Kole and Steph for giving me the literal space to “get 'er done”.

To Regan at Maine Photo Works, her meticulous attention to detail and care brought the images to life.

And to my family and friends who spent countless hours championing me in all the ways — edit reviews, packing, schlepping, food runs and prep, last-minute changes, problem-solving, and so many little details I can’t even count.

10% of sales were donated to Monhegan Artists Residency.
