Autumn was born in Pennsylvania and spent her formative years as an only child far from urban distractions, growing up wild and free on a rural farm. Her childhood unfolded in the open embrace of nature, with trees, fields, and animals as constant companions and confidants. The woods were her refuge, a magical world she retreated to in search of solace from a chaotic home life. Even as a child, she was seen as an old soul, a wild heart attuned to the subtle magic and whispers in the wind—a sensibility that would later become central to her work as an artist.
From a young age, Autumn felt as though art was already carved within her. She was first drawn to performance, taking to theater naturally, before her love for expression evolved into drawing, painting, writing stories, and poetry. Fascinated by the transformative power of the visual, she explored modeling and delighted in being a subject in front of the camera. But it was a high school photography elective that truly captivated her, flipping her perspective and launching a passionate romance with the camera—a love affair that still defines her creative life today. Behind the lens, she found both an outlet and a sanctuary. Photography became not just a form of art but a process of sharing her unique perspective and inviting others to see the world through her eyes.
Largely self-taught, Autumn's artistry is raw and authentic, shaped more by constant exploration than by formal training. She has always been committed to growing and evolving as an artist, finding inspiration in everything that embodies beauty. Her work is rooted in the peace and joy she discovers in the present moment behind the camera, a sense of losing herself in the act of seeing. Her creative process is deeply intuitive, shaped by the trauma and tragedy she has overcome. With an instinctive eye for nuance, she acts as a quiet observer and strives to capture moments of real connection with her subjects—often drawing on shared experiences and emotions that resonate with her own journey.
After school, art remained a beloved hobby, but life’s demands sometimes crowded it to the margins. A profound turning point came after the Covid pandemic, when Autumn returned to her hometown to care for her dying father. It was through the trials of loss and grief that she again picked up her camera with intention, finding solace and self-rediscovery in the process of making images. What began as healing soon flourished into a renewed artistic calling.
Autumn’s photographs are deeply emotive, designed to reach inside the viewer and awaken a visceral response. She selects subjects that intrigue or move her, and her most cherished work arises from honest, personal connection. Through her lens, she transforms fleeting moments into portals of feeling, offering the world a glimpse of her quiet reverence for beauty and wonder. Those who have encountered her art frequently remark on its evocative power, and their encouragement has helped persuade her to turn a lifelong passion into a dedicated pursuit.
Balancing motherhood and creative ambition, Autumn embraces the artistry in all aspects of life. Her goal now is to share her vision with a broader audience, to make her art not just a passion but a profession. She aspires to inspire others and to find both personal fulfillment and financial success through her work—all while remaining anchored by her children, the true epicenter of her universe.
Autumn's work is a testament to the resilience of wonder: a visual invitation to find enchantment in the everyday, and a reminder that art, at its best, serves not only as sanctuary but as connection—a way to feel the world more deeply, together.
