I specialize in fragmenting and recombining photographic perspectives and fleeting moments. Within my landscape photography, I employ mirrors to transcend conventional singular viewpoints, seamlessly merging disparate spaces within the frame. Through my exploration of instant film assemblage, I deliberately disrupt the developing image, harnessing the power of destruction to evoke themes of loss and navigate the complexities of grief. These disruptions serve as portals, allowing fragmented timelines to converge and form new narratives. Furthermore, my work explores the transformative potential of image disruption, catalyzing transgression, healing, and synthesis. In my most recent artistic endeavors, I've embarked on a journey using digital retouching tools with a sense of naivety. This approach allows me to unveil and interrogate how algorithms distort our perception of self and surroundings. By exposing these distortions, I aim to provoke critical reflection on the impact of technology on our sense of identity and our relationship with the world. My work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at The Houston Center for Photography, The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, The Center for Fine Art Photography, The Institute of Photographic Studies of Catalonia in Barcelona, Colorado Photographic Arts Center, The Photographic Center Northwest, The Center for Creative Photography, The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, and The Rhode Island Center for Photography. Recent awards include Top 200 Critical Mass 2015, Center for Fine Art Photography, Center Forward 2024, and top ten finalist for the 2018 Clarence John Laughlin Award.
