Work in progress...

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas and have been a lifelong resident of the city’s Montrose area. I received both a B.A. in Art History and a Master of Architecture from the University of Houston. Throughout the years I have experimented with numerous artistic mediums; however I always come back to photography as the core resource for my explorations of self-expression. By playing with the medium outside of conventional photographic methods I try to pursue a more personal interpretation of the subject rather than an exact reproduction.
