Visual Artist

The purpose of my art is to express myself and my thoughts. Art allows me to share my voice authentically and to explore what that means in different contexts. Much of my art exists so that I can remember things with more clarity. I’m creating a living and evolving documentation of my life through multiple mediums.

Through photography, I document mundane or ordinary things that might otherwise go unnoticed.  Bringing attention to these little things and moments is my way of encouraging people to be more attentive to their surroundings because the little details are both impactful and important. Photography allows me to slow things down – everything moves so fast that it is important to stop and observe things.  I do this through photography, and I enjoy sharing that experience with others.
