PROP & PLANT STYLING

I have been a visual stylist for photography for over 25 years, as creative director, producer, food stylist, writer, & prop stylist, for books, magazines, catalogs, advertising, tv, & web.

I've styled cookbooks for Ina Garten Barefoot Contessa, Michael Symon, Bobby Flay, Trisha Yearwood, Hot Bread Kitchen and Men's Health, to name a few.

I started a little catering company while going to art school and soon began writing and illustrating stories for my favorite magazines. Food & prop styling evolved from there, and eventually I put it all together as creative director of food for a national health magazine, where I oversaw everything having to do with food. Along the way I concentrated my eye on prop styling, expanding my focus from food to include gardens, plants, rooms, & still life.

My work grew from the way I live; growing food, flowers & herbs for my family & friends and setting the table with handmade dishes, textiles & found objects from the country around my Pennsylvania home and around the world.
