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 an unconventional and provocative experience. And, like the Pictorialists and Abstract Expressionists, my practice is driven by spontaneity, chance, and self-determination, while 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). For me, it's about seeing the process as more important than the finished piece of art, by actively pushing the boundaries that can lead to the unexpected—and it’s the unexpected that I’m ultimately interested in. My work has been exhibited at the Oceanside Museum, Covet Gallery, 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 with distinct honors from California College of the Arts.
