About
I am a lens-based artist with a multidisciplinary background in photography, illustration, and filmmaking. After earning a BA in Fine Arts in New Mexico, USA, I moved to the UK to further my career. My work has been showcased in various exhibitions and film festivals, including the Edinburgh Fringe Film Festival and the BFI’s Surrealism Film Festival.
My commercial clients include the BBC and The Economist. Recently, I have focused on narrative storytelling through photo-montage, a path that led me to complete an MA in Film and Photography from the University of Derby in 2022. I have also taken a role as a Senior Resource Technician for the department of Lens Based Media and Sound at Nottingham Trent University.
This role primarily involves preparing and delivering lessons and workshops of video and image editing to both undergraduate and post-graduate classes. I am interested in continuing this career path in the southwester United States.
