I am a photographer and mixed media artist. Having a background in both science and art, I often see the world through a dual perspective. I am attracted to both the natural and industrial areas around me, and frequently explore the juxtaposition of city and nature through my work. Mostly I make photographs because I am curious. I ask a lot of questions when walking around – How would this look up close? How do these things go together? My camera serves as my collaborator, as we see the world through a variety of filters, both tangible and intangible. The translation my camera makes of the world helps me to better understand it.
After receiving a BS in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon, I learned darkroom photography at the Art Institute of Boston and continued my art training at The Museum School, where I received my diploma in 2002. When not making art, I have recently worked as an Education Volunteer and Teacher Naturalist at Joppa Flats Education Center (Mass Audubon), and have volunteered as a citizen scientist with Earthwise Aware.
