I am a graduate of Lewis and Clark graduate school where a received a Masters in teaching in the area of Art. I received my undergraduate degree from Cal Poly Humboldt where I graduated with a BA in Studio Art with a focus in photography. Having always had an interest in photography, I fell in love with it during undergrad, growing fond of film photography and the magic of watching images appear on paper in the darkroom. I first started using color in my project Wake Up, in which I explored how one could be haunted in their domestic space; dreams and reality coinciding with one another. 

My photography continues to evolve but centers around the exploration of the human experience. I seek to deconstruct traditional ideas of gender, to study people’s relationship with each other and their environment, and to explore human sexuality. I find the honest beauty in my subjects using photography as a way into human connection. In my most recent series "Whole," I place my subjects in poses in which women have classically been depicted through art history to show how one can embody both masculinity and femininity simultaneously.

Being a lover of alternative processes, I found Cyanotype and started printing in rich blue tones, taking my printing beyond paper and onto fabric. I continue to explore photography unbound, searching for new ways to use the medium. I have the great support of a beautiful community of friends and family, a constant inspiration that offer themselves as subjects in collaborations that grasp at some truth. I currently reside in Portland, OR where he has lived for the past 11 years.
