In 2016, I traveled farther north and south then ever before, stepping foot with other artists and family experiencing the culture and landscape in both Brazil and Iceland.

I discovered an interest in film and video at the age of 12. From that point forward art and music have played a major role in my life. After graduating from college with a BA in Photography and Sociology, I spent four months interning at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood, CA.

Early on, a whirlwind of travel transported me from coast to coast, traveling to nearly all 50 states in the US while living in my baby blue VW bus purchased in Southern Utah. This highly mobile life created an eagerness to grow as an artist and see the world. At this point, I began experimenting with pinhole camera photography, digging my hands deep in the darkroom.

Working closely with world famous vegan chef, Mark Reinfeld in 2009, I produced images for his third cookbook, The 30 Minute Vegan’s Taste Of The East. This book was published in July of 2010, reviewed by Food Network’s host and author Ellie Krieger as well as New York Times author Deborah Madison.

Music has always made a huge impact on making my heart race. From 2009-2012, time was spent shooting video and photos of the The Polish Ambassador.

From 2009-present, I have extensively traveled the world with my camera. Favorite destinations include Iceland, Brazil, Japan, Indonesia, Maui, Guatemala, Cuba, Utah, Montana and Peru.
