Roy grew up with photography.  In their father's photographic school, LeRoy Studios, she and her sister played in front of the lens.  Roy modeled in her father's fashion photos in New York.


In contrast to the posed expressions in studio portraits, as a photographer, she prefers the fleeting moment in natural light.


Roy sees visual expression as a short story, with its own language to explore identity.  In her portraits of people and places, Roy lets her subjects tell their own stories. 



She has an academic background in printmaking and language: studied printmaking at Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Iowa, with Mauricio Lasansky. Her artwork is in collections at the Albright-Knox Museum, Buffalo, NY; Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, NY; Center for the Visual Arts, Oakland, CA; Berlin Gallery, Germany; additional private collections and publications.  She earned an M.A. degree in English, from The University of Rochester and an M.A. in T.E.S.O.L. (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from New York University.

 



  

                        
Photography - my legacy.

My father, Charles Roy,as LeRoy Studios, was a photographer throughout the major changes in 20th Century photography.  After portrait and wedding photos, and a school of photography, he took 3-Dimensional slides and fashion photos in New York.

Later he created films, TV ads and an exhibit of his portraits of my sister and I.

His films from the 1940’s to 2003 are a part of his legacy to us.
