PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography, for me, is an act of quiet observation—a way to distill the fleeting atmosphere of an emotion or place into a permanent visual record. My work focuses on the evocative power of light and the weathered details of the landscape that often go unnoticed. Whether capturing the ethereal quality of a morning fog or the intricate patterns of decay, these images serve as a meditative exploration of our connection to the earth. Below, you will find my photographic collections and series, documented by year.
HEALING BOXES (2022)
My brother died unexpectedly at the age of 52. It felt like a crumbling of my foundation. In the months after, I found myself creating altars in my studio. I filled old wooden crates with sentimental or symbolic objects… arranging them with care and reverence. I quickly realized it was helping me heal.
Over the fall, I spent many a quiet, beautiful hour arranging items delicately into boxes - honoring my brother and my own sense of loss. The boxes shown here are photographic representations of temporary boxes that are no longer… a reminder of how fleeting all of life is.

STILL, LIFE (2014)
After the sudden death of my fiancé in 2012, I began to I examine my inner world of grief through self-portraiture. Each week for a year, I captured images and wrote personal essays to further explore the thoughts and emotions that came up as I healed.
This project has culminated into a powerful collection of 40 works depicting a distinctly poetic and otherworldly beauty from one of the darkest and most painful of life’s experiences. It left me with a deep and lasting healing and has gone on to create a conversation on grief and death for many.
“Still, Life” has led me to an interest in how we cope with change, which includes both a loss of something that was and an entering into something new - a still beautiful life. I continue to explore this theme in many different ways, but it is this series that always speaks of it most powerfully to me.
Below is the entire series of photographs and original essays.
