Old photographs intrigue me and consequently greatly influence my photography. I am left with feelings of both fondness and loss as I contemplate my childhood and that of my own children as well. At the same time this link between the past and the present captivates me as I attempt to frame destiny in a whimsical, playful way with this staged photograph.

Biography

I am a storyteller at heart. My background as a painter combined with my obsession with anthropological histories, early film and the collecting and displaying of ephemera drive my vision in photography. I am also the director, archivist and curator of The SGA Foundation, committed to the creative arts legacy of the late Sarah G. Austin through educational exhibitions and loans of her work.
