New Jersey native, storyteller & explorer of this tiny corner of the universe.
Hi! I'm Allie. A New Jersey based art educator, photographer and writer. A visual storyteller driven by the bits of life that remind us of its' fragility and how to find meaning within our day-to-days that can feel bound to routine.
From September to June, you can find me working as an elementary art teacher helping the little ones expand their creativity and build their own "toolboxes" for self expression. From a young age, I have always had a love of learning and being an advocate for helping others see the potential they have within themselves. I earned my Bachelors of Art in Visual Arts with concentrations in Education and Photography and Master of Arts in Teaching with a certification to teach students of disabilities at Montclair State University.
Art, to me, has always been about capturing the raw beauty of a moment. Whether that's in nature or a candid shot of laughter between friends or even just the outpour of pent up emotions on a canvas. Feelings pass and being able to capture that is something special. Our emotions are what reminds us that we're alive and still going, still growing.
In my free time, you can often find me slinging my camera along on hikes, adding to my wellness routine and spending time with friends and family.
