05 / About
A little about me
“Find beauty in the chaos of everyday life.”Artist statement · 2009
My creative practice grew from a love of photography and the craft of making prints. I work across analog, alternative-process, and digital darkrooms, and I’m drawn to the ways careful looking can reveal both order and surprise in everyday places.
Alongside my art practice, I build imaging and data workflows for libraries and archives. That work brings together photographic craft, practical engineering, and a commitment to helping people discover and use cultural collections.
I hold an MFA in Photography from the University of North Texas. UNT Special Collections holds a collection of my photographs ↗
