  • Artist's Statement

    I've been an artist since I could first hold a crayon. At 18 I took a photo class in college, and immediately took it up as my minor. My first series was placed in galleries and sold at auction, and I sold many prints after. When I moved to San Francisco I ran into a lot of trouble acquiring models, and became fearful of shooting the area as homeless people chased after me trying to steal my camera. I've just recently taken up photography again, after a 5 year stand-still. I can't wait to shoot my little heart out ;) and to see what other fantastic work is being captured out there.

    I'm also a professional Graphic Designer at a small design firm in San Francisco. As a designer I use photography and illustration in my day to day work. I hope to one day become successful enough in photography to leave the design behind ;)
