I have been
creating photographic fine art for more than 15 years. Since graduating in
1991 from Pratt Institute of Art & Architecture with a Bachelor of Fine
Art in Photography, I have continued freelancing, gravitating towards creative
portraits for musicians and artists. My professional work has been featured
on CD covers, PR slicks, commercial websites, magazines, and boxing posters.
Experimenting with the Holga toy camera in 1998, I decided to renew my concentration
on personal expression. Using the world, myth and fairy tales as my muse,
I have photographed with the Holga extensively, creating traditional imagery
as well as pushing the simple camera to its limits with more experimental
series. Since 2002, I have exhibited steadily in various venues and fine art
galleries, including a solo show in 2005 titled "new_venus." Images
from this series were also exhibited in SOHO Photo Gallery in New York City
and CameraArts magazine. In 2009, my work has been exhibited in San
Francisco and Johnson City, TX.
