About Us

I’ve always been attracted to things visually aesthetic. As a child I rearranged my room on a weekly basis, and cut out magazine clippings with interesting fonts and pinned them to my walls. My father covered my walls with sheets of OSB allowing me to pin things from floor to ceiling. At a young age I applied to art school, and received my art degree at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising aka FIDM, in San Francisco. My subject was Visual Presentation and Space Design which is quite a mouthful! I explored Visual Merchandising and graphic design —in the 80’s this meant without a computer (that’s how old I am!). I’ve always been interested in taking photos, and for years took photos for my first blog (Vintage Rose Brocante), but my interest piqued when my daughter Cierra, was exploring a career in photography. It wasn’t until 2019 that I decided to take a beginners class to learn more about the technique part of things. Living in a new city, travel style photography became my thing, and I explored street photography but when the pandemic hit, I became increasingly interested in photographing food and still life. It’s a journey that has thus far been challenging but very rewarding.
