In February, I was named one of Vermont Center of Photography's 30 under 30 Photographers. The exhibition was curated by Boston photographer and teacher, Greer Muldowney.
The new July issue of Art New England Magazine features a write up about the work and exhibition. The article includes one of my photographs, called "Queen Anne's Lace" that was taken in the outskirts of Rome last year.

How great it was to deliver a lecture in my hometown of Boston! I talked about all of my favorite things: art, science, photography, Italy, & bees!
The talk was at Trident Books on Newbury Street and was part of the NerdNite Boston lecture series.
It was great to talk about my photography and art, but even more rewarding was the opportunity to discuss the relationship art has with science. The two topics are seamlessly intertwined, and since the people in the audience primarily had science backgrounds, I was able to tap into the importance of blending art instead of separating it as a different category than science and math.
Here I am, talking with my hands, per usual.
Here is a flashback from when I delivered a talk for NerdNite Milan, in Italy!
On June 17, 2014, Nerd Nite Milan was lucky to have a presentation and pop-up photography exhibition with work by Renee Ricciardi, art photographer and beekeeper from Boston, MA. Renee is traveling around Italy for the second time, visiting beekeepers and exploring the relationship between bees and beekeepers and the larger picture about our experience with and relationship to the natural world.
