Artist Statement The beautiful chaos and passion that life holds drives me as an artist. Nothing excites me more than being able to capture and portray this journey. My love for the arts has been with me most of my life, starting with dance at the age of three. I have been teaching various forms of dance locally for 7 years, at the Flagler School of Dance.
Aside from general academics my studies include pottery, design, drawing, stone carving, printmaking, art history, digital art, journalism, psychology, and even nursing. I have an associates degree in cultural and aesthetic processes and have been working towards a degree in photography at the Southeast Center for Photographic Studies. Needless to say I am enthralled with knowledge of all sorts.
Although I have always enjoyed taking pictures, photography became dearest to my heart when I travelled to Haiti with a missions group. It was here that I truly experienced beauty, sorrow, pain, and joy. Photography enabled me to really take hold of the experience and create on film a story that will last longer than my own life and memory. I realized that photography was to be my method of interpreting all the artistry of culture, environment, and humanity.
I have experience with architectural, studio, location, portraiture, event, and commercial photography. My favorite style is photojournalism where I can explore creativity and tell a story through documentation. I am grateful for the opportunity to capture your moments in life, they are not only special to you but dear to my heart because I am given another chance to express the poetry of life through my love, photography.
