the surfaces series is an exploration into cultural relationships with natural and urban habitas. influences for this series, include richard misrach's desert canto series, hiroshi sugimoto's sea landscapes, andreas gurski's documentation school, agnes martin paintings, and jorge luis borges' short story the god's script.

for the on being: femine series, i am interested in meditations about visual representations of women. i use one lens and one camera, and tri-x 400. no special setups or lights, make-up or hair, and no photoshop. the format of three chairs is a metaphor for life stages, and location is key to the subject's life. i am interested in exploring unmanipulated and unpolished visual representations of women. portraits are influenced by european painting traditions and by early history of photography.

my academic background includes liberal arts degree at new york university with concentrations in social sciences and art and literature. and writing, anthropology, and music history coursework at columbia university in new york city.

my work background includes textile merchandising, accessories purchasing and product development; and stints in the radio network media and healthcare industries.

i am seeking an intership or assistant position with photo studio in europe, preferably in london.
