ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a visual artist that uses photography to narrate and construct identity in self portraiture and experimental florals, to delve into the abstract, and to capture interplay of details and color in the realm of emotion. Drawing inspiration from my theatrical and vocal performance background, I strive to explore and connect psyche, spirit, ego, and soul: creating current characters with personal and dynamic stories.
I like to capture scenes from my play, and I also like the out takes. It is my desire to connect to the viewer in a meaningful way by exploring multiple sides of me: the light and dark, the quiet and the movement, and the smooth and textured. I use my camera and eye for detail to visit the complicated fringe of my personality and my relationships. Every photo I take is a part of my curiosity and “double” inner world. I seek a connection to self and the audience in that space of duality, building a bridge through emotion and humanity.
All of my imagery is created by personal photographs that I take with my cameras.
