The Last Few Years
I am a photographer interested in the intersection of the past and the present. Over the years I have enjoyed the challenge of trying to represent an alternate universe where perception and reality either collide or collaborate.
Recently, I began to contextualize my documentary and fine art images. My mentors encouraged me to further develop and share my project-based work. The pandemic pushed me forward. There is no turning back.
In 2022, the Constance Saltonstall Foundation awarded me a Fellowship in Photography with an artist's residency. I am grateful for those who have honored my work and continue to encourage my endeavors.
