Artists Statement

I am a photographer with a background in fine arts as well as performance art.
I specialize in event & portrait photography, but always finds time to work on side projects of personal significance. My main interest, in photography, is anything having to do with people, whether it is the person themself or items that we all live with on an everyday basis. I am fascinated with everyday belongings and goings-on, particularly those that take on larger amounts of purpose and meaning when acquainted with unusual circumstances.
