Artist Statement

"I've always been a visual artist and have earned Landscape Architecture and Master of Architecture degrees. My experience in both fields has a significant influence on how I view my environment. My earlier artworks — mono-chromatic collages made of metal, plexiglass and spray paint drawings using words exploring light and particles in space — have been shown in Museums and Galleries throughout the US. In recent years, my medium of choice has organically transitioned to photography. Using the iphone and working exclusively in black & white, I continue to explore light and space, creating environments with reflections and composites. I want the viewer to step into my worlds, absorb their beauty and create their own story."
