Do you love art
that tells a story?
Are you looking for something truly special?
My unique landscape photography prints are more than just a snapshot. Each cyanotype is hand-coated with emulsion and exposed individually creating a original work of art. My black and white fine art photography prints are printed using archival inks with beautiful handmade paper. Every image is a story in itself: an observation of a peaceful moment in time, which has made its way from my lens to your walls.
In the Studio
Sarah runs a studio located at 47 High Street in Westerly, Rhode Island.
An award-winning fine art photographer and author, her contemplative photography has been seen in numerous exhibitions and galleries throughout greater New England as well as being published in local and national publications.
You can view artwork on display during open hours on Friday evenings or by appointment.
Reach out to set up a time to stop by, or attend the grand opening of the studio in June.

Be the first to see new work, hear the stories behind the art, find out about recent inspirations and upcoming events.
Sojourn Project
I’m thrilled to be published in the newest F-Stop Magazine. Out of 3,800 submissions, 375 were selected, including 3 of mine from project Sojourn. Learn more about the inspiration behind the project and view a selection of photographs.
Poetry & Writing
An avid writer, of both of poetry and essays, my favorite writing form is the senryu. A style of poem similar to a haiku, but which deals with human nature rather than Mother Nature. These short poems focus on the human condition, making readers think about life from a new perspective. Sometimes the writings are funny, sometimes tinged with sadness, and at other times they are simple declarations of what it means to be human in the modern world.
My explorations of senryu and short form poetry have been featured in national and international journals.
Having self-published my first book, Mystery & Manifestations, I am finalizing a second, Sojourn, which was a project created during a pivotal journey to the Pacific Northwest in 2025.
Where Art Meets Spirit
A blog where you’ll find writings about the art world, including film and camera reviews, practical advice for creatives, behind the scenes stories, and personal reflections on life and art.
The Story Behind A Photograph, Part 1.
A foggy morning, an uncertain start, and a fleeting break in the clouds. Sarah’s reflection on a trip to Cape Cod traces how a photograph becomes more than an image, rooted in attention, memory, and presence.
