  • About MMH

    My work as a writer and visual artist spans fifty years. I’ve shown work in solo and group exhibitions, produced site-specific installations and served as lead artist for a City of Houston art project. In 2015, I collaborated on Finding Our Way, a photographic installation using images from a trove of nude pictures a friend and I took of one another in the early 1980s. In tandem with the exhibition, we hosted a weekend of public conversations on women made visible with a camera. In 2017, I began to use my images in photo collages. New work can be seen at Heidi Vaughan Fine Art, Houston.

    My passions are crafting personal essays, assembling photo collages, printing photographs from negatives, and authoring blog posts, travelogues and an ever- expanding memoir. Not a day goes by that I do not look for connections between and among images and words.
