🔶ABOUT ME🔶 (scroll down for pricing)
I live just outside of Philly with my husband, 2 kids, 3 dogs, 1 hairless cat and 1 snake. My darkroom is in our basement and my printing studio is in our attic. Neither are climate controlled, so that’s fun.

I’ve been working with alternative process photography for over 20 years now. I immediately fell in love with photography but was never satisfied with the paper quality of silver gelatin printing. BC of my nerdiness I for paper I now make my own for use with my photogravure and cyanotype printing.

A few fun facts: I train jiu-jitsu and am a purple belt. I hoard boxes (where are my fellow box hoarders at?) I love gardening and baking. I have that disease where if someone else can do something I think I can immediately do the same thing- such as being an electrician. I’m usually wrong.

🔶ABOUT MY PRICING:🔶
I’ve always tried to price my work as low as possible in hopes that it would be accessible to as many people as possible. Unfortunately it is just not sustainable. My processes are time consuming and the materials are expensive. As a result I will be raising my prices.

A few important things to note:

🔘My prints are not copies. They are an edition of a negative or printing plate, which means each print is hand printed and unique. Once that edition sells out that’s it. There will be no more prints made
🔘Most of my newer pieces are printed on handmade paper.
🔘I give collectors discounts (those who own 3 or more of my pieces).
🔘I accept Venmo, PayPal or cash. DM or email me to purchase. (Email in my website, linked in bio).
🔘My prices usually start around $375 and go up about $50 per print as the edition sells, so print 1 would cost $375, print 2 would cost $425. This varies depending on plate and edition size.

Lastly, thank you for following me! I know I’m not the best at posting but am working on it .
