Artist of Whimsy and Grit I am a photographer, storyteller, and desert transplant now exploring the lush, humid life of the Southeast. My work is shaped by curiosity, witness, and care. I am drawn to unscripted moments, textured environments, and images that feel lived-in rather than staged. My background in documentary storytelling, disaster response, and community-centered arts has taught me that listening is just as essential to a great image as the camera itself.
