About Me And My Work

As a child I expressed myself creatively through visual art, drama and dance. Within in me is an innate force of imagination that drives me to produce constant artistic output. Over the years the desired choice of media has evolved but I always have been motivated to create.

The work I create is often simply a reflection of the impression left upon me by my physical surroundings. Often I try to expose hidden beauty in the mundane and sometimes ordinary. Experimentation and my attraction towards the eccentric push me to look beyond the surface in order to capture the true essence of my subject whether it is living, natural or man-made.

Driven to express I continually strive towards professional and personal growth by staying involved in the community, industry opportunities, events and as a founding member of the artist group, The Luminos Collective. All this has lead to numerous national publications including the May/June 2007 issue of View Camera Magazine and a front-page article in the Miami Herald.

Art Forms And Cultures I Would Like To Engage With

For some reason when your medium of choice is shooting 4x5" film there tends to be a lot of solo work. My dream would be to do something for National Geographic.

My Creative Influences & Favorite Artists

There was an exhibit at the Guggenheim where the photographs of Peter Fischli and David Weiss captured my attention. Those images were the beginning of my love affair with photography. Other photographers that I find inspiration from are Margret Bourke White, and Ansel Adams. Erik Gauger is doing exactly what I hope to achieve with his travel blog www.notesfromtheroad.com
