I began photography through commissioned portrait shoots, but have always been drawn to street photography——-especially the movement, intense colors, and layered narratives characteristic of Alex Webb's work. Editing has recently become a larger part of my photography process. I enjoy experimenting with visual effects that mirror the surreal aspects of my paintings. As a result of that change, my painting and photography practices have begun to overlap. I hope to keep developing that overlap in my future work, creating multimedia pieces that culminate in unique, layered photomontages.
