Growing up in Baltimore from a working class family I have since I can remember loved art, I had one art teacher in elementary school who noticed and encouraged me. In high school I took a photography class and I was hooked. From there I continued creating. At 18 I moved to Philadelphia and photography became my college major, and eventually my career. I have had the honor of working alongside artists and photographers in this community for over a decade now.
The need to capture or preserve a moment comes from my experience with loss in my life.
From that my art has always been the context of two main emotions within my mind, shown through juxtaposition. My need to document that which will someday be gone, alongside my feelings
as a woman and our complexities which inform who we are as individuals and a collective.
