I am a Michigan-based fine art photographer whose practice combines analog image-making with psychological and scientific inquiry.

 

I received my B.S. in Art & Design with a concentration in Photography from Northern Michigan University in 2026. Working primarily through alternative processes—including cyanotype, 35mm color film, and experimental darkroom techniques—my work emphasizes tangible engagement as an essential piece of image-making.

 

Recent work investigates the construction of identity through performance, questioning where genuine selfhood dissolves into adaptive behavior. In addition to this, I've been exploring the nonlinear grieving process, focusing on the role memory reconstruction plays in the act of remembering.

 

I'm particularly interested in how cognitive processes can be translated visually. By merging empirical frameworks with human experience, my work creates a space where analytical and emotional modes of understanding coexist. Materiality plays a central role in my making process. Through the use of alternative printing techniques, I introduce elements of unpredictability and transformation that parallel the instability of memory and identity. My preference for physical, hands-on making reflects a desire to maintain a tangible connection to my work, reinforcing my presence within the act of creation. ​
