The Artist
Hi! I’m Kara. In August 2020, while suffering from debilitating PTSD and at the start of a period of sobriety from alcohol, I picked up a used camera with the intention of figuring out how it worked. This was me finally taking the step to pursue a craft that had piqued my interest since I was a young girl, a moment that in retrospect feels like a true God-given gift.
Since then I've discovered that while taking photographs, I am entirely present in the moment, which I have found to be key to achieving internal peace. Through my work, I hope to share those gifts of presence and peace in the moment with others.
I know that photography will be with me regardless of the sometimes tumultuous, volatile realities of life. Through this pursuit, I expect to grow not only in my craft, but as a human being in the weeks, months, and years to come.
Onward.

The Art
My pursuit of photography is primarily focused on capturing Cape Cod’s stunning coastal landscapes. Much of my work features the ever-changing colors, textures and patterns found on the Bayside of Cape Cod, home to North America’s largest tidal flats, where Mother Nature’s canvas is constantly evolving. I feel blessed to live somewhere where no two moments are alike; the inspiration is truly never-ending in our beautiful little Massachusetts haven.
Through my work, I strive to provide the viewer with both the sense of calm typically achieved through immersing oneself in nature, and the nostalgia evoked through experiencing cherished moments on Cape Cod. Each photograph is a reminder of the beauty and tranquility found in every moment, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and take a deep breath.
