Artist Statement
My photographic work spans the various stages of my life, capturing my environment, community, friends, family, and myself to connect dots, raise questions, and capture truth, depth, and the hidden. I strive to build a wide array of imagery, fluidly moving between documentation and creation, with a direct, honest, and vulnerable approach.
The camera allows me to live a better, deeper, more meaningful life, providing the reason to reach out, look deeper, and reconnect with what surrounds me. Through the act of photographing and looking at the images, I aim to make the visual visible, pose questions about our lives, and highlight the commonalities and similarities between all subjects and viewers, hoping to reveal the universal within the personal.
