My work has been described as spiritual and sensual, serious and elegant. I shoot exclusively with my iPhone and develop images with phone apps.
In my latest work, I digitally layer and blend 5-6 layers into each image. I draw upon my portfolio of more than 400+ images --photos of water and sky and planets, doodles, drawings, alchemical and astrological formulas and diagrams, old letters, renaissance portraits, etc. My intent is to show that underneath the surface, the persona, lies a complex history of joy and trauma and doubt and regret and serendipity and wrong turns and hope and survival and ambition and grief.
I am a graduate of the Rocky Mountain School of Photography’s summer intensive program. I was a founding owners of RiverWinds Gallery in Beacon which featured Hudson Valley artists for 17 years. I’m currently the co-curator of Gallery 40 in Poughkeepsie, and I also market and curate a group of 20 Hudson Valley artists on social media and organize several IRL popups a year. In addition, I’ve taught photography workshops in Australia and Italy as well as attended international residencies in Poland and in Beacon.
