Working as a graphic designer and then
transferring careers into nursing, Marie
maintained her interest in photography;
however, it wasn’t until Instagram became a
phenomenon for the cyberspace photography
community that Marie began to avidly build
her personal gallery.
Beginning with her iPhone, Marie quickly
adapted to photography in the digital age,
later incorporating a Canon into her tool belt.
“I look at the progression my photography has
taken over the years and it is truly incredible.”
Joining mobile photography clubs and
experimenting with photo editing apps,
Marie found experts in iPhoneography and
DSLR photographers to mentor her growth.
Gradually, Marie developed her own artistic
path, striving to bring unnoticed objects
and scenes to light and presenting them in
“memorable” ways for the viewer.
In “Morning Light Filters In”, the scene
is simple and the content mundane—a
dishevelled bed with the sheets thrown back.
Yet the gentle light and hints of golden light
evoke the familiar warmth of home, rest and
the rise of a new day.
Again, in “Morning Ritual”, Marie captures
an average moment in such an honest fashion,
that the viewer can relate to the subject and
feel a sense of attachment to the simple
pleasure of enjoying a coffee in the nude,
completely comfortable and embraced by the
unobtrusive atmosphere.
