About Cate


I developed a love for photography at a young age, which I continued onto college at Fitchburg State in Massachusetts.  After graduating with a degree in Photography, I returned home to southern Rhode Island to reconnect with the coastal community.  

Over the years, my work has taken me on road trips across North America, travels through Europe, and sailing adventures in the Caribbean.  Today, my portfolio of fine art is an expression of these years of coastal explorations, beach walks, even swims in the middle of winter. 

Driven by an equal love for the ocean and beautiful imagery, my aim is to draw you into a world defined and surrounded by sandy beaches and salty ocean waters.

I hope that my photography not only invokes the smell of salt air, the sound of ocean water and sensations of salt spray, but also an appreciation and respect for our Oceans.  We owe so much to the waters that have given us life, abundance and a calling for exploration and self expression.  The Sea inspires me to capture its likeness through creative vision, and in turn I hope my images will motivate others to return to the Sea to find their own inspiration.

“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.”  –Jacques Yves Cousteau
