I have developed a deeply intuitive process by which I am both photographer and female subject. I achieve a stark and elegant aesthetic by holding true to images that require minimal digital manipulation. I confront myself with truthful intimacy, as the images are created in response to life’s urgent flux; psychological issues that challenge my identity, sense of balance, and physical form. By depicting unease through anomalous body language and surreal settings, I interpret dreamlike memories and emotional intensity in a hauntingly seductive mise-en-scène.

A mysterious conundrum is implied as my idiosyncrasies of the physical and emotional are disclosed then pondered.  My images often echo my training as an expressive figure painter. I express personal mystery while simultaneously revealing life’s poignant happenings and anguished longings. As an honest witness to self, I leave the observer with a voyeuristic and visceral narrative visually expressed....a raw observation of a heart pinned to a sleeve, covering worn skin, and fragile bone.
