My work is heavily influenced by my experience as a woman, gender imbalance and the general absurdity of modern life.
My enduring interest lies in the space between the human experience and reality. The intangible fuzzy cloud that allows us to continue forward as we rotate between functional ignorance and the horror of realization. I earned my B.F.A. in Photography at the School of Visual Arts, NYC
Before fully turning to art I studied English, Psychology and Philosophy at Flagler College and came away with a B.A.
