I am a storyteller using writing and photography to convey complex ideas and feelings. I am writing a story examining family and cultural traditions. I am interested in images that allow for introspection and question human behavior, specifically patterns and repetition. I look for the similarities that connect our ancient societies’ ways of thinking with contemporary ways of life. I look to the past to understand the present. The expression of my creative ideas often overlaps between mediums. Examining the subject from various angles through writing, painting, drawing, filming, and still-frame photography, allows me to understand the topic more thoroughly.
