I am a nomad who likes to dance and frolic. I also make art.

My work dives deep into the cracks, the gaps between the rustic natural land and the concrete confines of man. It is the interface between earth and man that is in constant flux. From a plant springing up in the space between the curb and the street, to the trimming of trees to make way for electrical poles, my art seeks to identify and document that interface. It is indeed the gap between objects, which allows space for future growth.

I was raised in Northern California where my interest in photography and education began. Upon graduating from the Visual Arts program at the University of California, San Diego, where I studied under Barbara Kruger, I photographed my way through Eastern and Western Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia. Arriving back in the U.S., I embarked on a photographic project, which involved living and working in the post-Hurricane Katrina environment. My photographic work has been exhibited throughout the West Coast, from Tijuana, MX to Arcata, Ca. I have authored original educational material and taught for the Museum of Photographic Arts, Outside the Lens (a non-profit I helped start), and, currently SfCamerawork. I am an artist, and educator living and creating in Oakland, Ca.

If you are interested in using any of my images in any way, shape or form, please contact me for permission. thank you.
