My work is a visual expression of my inner life, an emotional archeology often revealing itself in hidden and uncovered layers across a variety of mediums. As a highly visual person, with a long career in photography and photojournalism, I process the world around me through the image. My work often features a through line of hidden meanings – nothing is as it seems. I rely deeply on my artistic process to reveal what each piece wants to say, and allow my viewers to interpret my work freely.
