A native of Connecticut, Stone graduated from Colby College in Maine in 1984, and moved to New York to work in advertising and marketing. Returning to academia, she earned an M.A. in French from New York University in 1990. Later, back in Connecticut, and while raising a family, she studied photography at Silvermine Art School. From 2012 to 2021, she participated in Sandi Haber Fifield’s photography workshops in Connecticut and New York City.
Stone’s photography often incorporates found objects, sculptural components, and the themes of imperfection, impermanence and human frailty.
In 2022, Stone was among the twenty winners of LensCulture’s Summer Open international competition. She was also awarded the PRC Choice Award for her work in PRC Boston’s Exposure 2022 exhibit, curated by Catherine Edelman.
Featured again in LensCulture Magazine, Stone’s work was chosen as one of the “15 Most Popular Discoveries, Interviews and Visual Stories of 2021.” Also in 2021, her photographs were selected by Michael Foley for the New Orleans Photo Alliance Currents exhibition at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art.
In 2019, Kris Graves Projects included her work in On Death, which made Time Magazine’s Best Photobooks of 2019. Stone’s images have also been featured in various juried exhibitions at Sohn Fine Art Gallery, PhotoPlace Gallery, Vermont Center for Photography, curated by Kimberly Witham, Sam Abell, Henry Hornstein and Elizabeth Avedon; and in Humble Arts Foundation’s 2019 online exhibition Numerology, curated by Roula Seikaly and Jon Feinstein.
