Since I was a small child, I have been a teller of stories. A vivid imagination coupled with anxiety and sleep disorders have long fueled my need to express myself through evocative and rich elements of story. The receipt of my first camera at the age of nine stoked that desire to tell my story through images.  My images focus on a single subject in a square frame, exploring themes of mental illness and modern femininity. Using advanced compositing techniques and universal symbols, I create surreal images to engage viewers to make their own personal connections to the story.  We are all walking, breathing stories. My art draws out the connections between us all.
