Artist Statement and Bio
At any given moment, I have at least one-thousand-twenty-eight stories archived in my brain ready to tell all who care to listen. As a consequence of being a drama queen (so I am told), I am able to turn my experiences into funny, yet seemingly important, embellishments that others need to know. Amongst my friends and family, I am recognized for my exaggerations, inquisitiveness, verbosity and laughter. Consequently, these qualities emanate throughout my photographic and video work. Having fun is crucial to my creative process and why the toy camera is ideal for me. Currently, I enjoy attending Cal State Fullerton where I am in pursuit of my MFA in Creative Photography.
