Artist Statement
Throughout my work, I focus on capturing rich textures, patterns, and repeating shapes in regular objects, landscapes and human interactions – mostly working in black and white and using both film and digital formats. In this portfolio, I have aimed to capture abstracted shapes and fleeting moments in the desert environment and historical landmarks across Arizona – from water flowing over Grand Falls as a summer storm approached, to a solitary cloud hugging the edge of the Grand Canyon moments before it dissipated.
