BIO AND MORE
In addition to photography, I am an art consultant, project manager, curator and can offer art hanging services. I am especially skilled in bringing the idea of an exhibition to fruition from start to finish. Previous project work includes The Bold Beauty Project (2016) and The Compassion Project (2019).
My work focuses on using photography for social change and I am driven to tell stories of others that don’t show up in the collective community gaze. My past projects have featured women with disabilities and formerly incarcerated women. I believe that the subjects’ own stories alongside portraits are powerful agents for creating awareness and making change. For my latest project, This Skin I'm In, I am making portraits featuring the LGBTQIA+ community in Western North Carolina.
