I'm a California-based photographer and artist that captures everyday objects, architecture, and people to create unique, one-of-kind pieces. Fueled by the ethos of the late nineteenth-century pictorialists and abstract expressionists, my goal is to bring the viewer through a provocative experience, free from restraints or restrictions. Like the Pictorialists and Abstract Expressionists, I believe in spontaneity, chance, and self-determination, while at the same time challenging the conventional notions of photography and image making systems that are currently in place in our society. “The enemy of photography is the convention, the fixed rules of ‘how to do.’ The salvation of photography comes from the experiment” (László Moholy-Nagy). I’m not only considering the common ground that exists between photography and other disciplines, but actively pushing the boundaries that can lead to the unexpected—and it’s the unexpected that I’m ultimately looking for and interested in. My work has been exhibited at the Oceanside Museum and Municipal Library in San Diego, David Jones Gallery in Kansas City, Missouri, Front Porch Gallery in Carlsbad, California, Perry Events Center in San Francisco, the Oliver Art Center in Oakland, the ArtLounge Collective in Los Angeles, The Photography Center in Richmond, Virginia and is held in many  private collections. I hold a BFA from California College of the Arts.
