Artist Statement

Photography, for me, is light, shadow, texture, and emotion.

Whether capturing landscapes, urban scenes, or abstracts, my goal is to create images that evoke a sense of introspection and timelessness. Art is not necessarily recreating what the eye sees, but transporting the viewer into the world of my vision.

One of my earliest memories is that of helping my father build a darkroom in our basement of my childhood home. He became an
accomplished photographer and growing up I would sometimes tagged along with him to his photos shoots in the woods, old railway stations, and abandoned buildings.

I came back to photography in 2012 and found real joy in creating images that capture a moment, tell a story or transport the viewer.

My work has been exhibited at The Bendheim Gallery, The Carriage Barn Arts Center, The Rowayton Arts Center, the Loft Artists
Association, Rye Arts Center, Greenwich Arts Council Loft Gallery and the Ferguson Library. I am the resident artist at Unsubscribed in Greenwich CT. My work is also in private collections.
