I am an artist making my work in Ojai, CA, the place where I am from. I’ve lived and worked in a handful of other places including New York and Berlin. In 2022 I finished my MFA degree at CalArts (the covid years!) and previously I studied photography at the International Center for Photography in NYC as well as NYU’s Gallatin School (shoutout to interdisciplinary people). For a list of places that have shown my work and photography you can review my C.V. linked above. 

To support my art practice I freelance as a social media manager, photographer, and producer. 

Here’s a list of things that inform me right now: 

land
land ownership
land use
space
place
cycles
seasons
death
rebirth
image
image production
image circulation
image reproduction
magic
relationships between front / back
mystification
reality
cultural production
reality production 
surrealism
fantasy
re-use
absurdity
souvenirs
culture
consumption
material
spirituality
hierarchy
gender (roles)
power

Here’s that list in a different order: 

images - create reality - reality reinforces the image - truth vs lies - societal structures and social relationships - mystification - the back spaces which motivate tourist impulses - authenticity - absurdity - surrealism - melancholy - souvenir collecting and material hoarding - pilgrimage - religion - land degradation - land ownership - land use - tourism again - death and rebirth - cultural production - image production - image circulation and reproduction - cycles - spirals - non linear process - absurdity again - hierarchy - gender norms and roles - concentrated power
