Artist’s Statement

I have been taking pictures for about 10 years in many different guises – first as a high school art student, then as an editorial photographer for my college newspaper, and finally in a Master’s program and on my own. I have been working on a landscape series and a series about my mother for the past few years. I am influenced by Elger Esser and Richard Misrach – I love a sense of painterly minimalism in a photograph. Lately I’ve been looking at Andrea Modica and Ralph Eugene Meatyard as I start to include people in my images (which I managed not to do at all for several years). I am excited about the work I am creating of my mother. I am attempting to create a narrative about her while placing her in a personally meaningful landscape and environment.

Which artists inspire you? (Not necessarily photographers.)

Elger Esser, Andy Goldsworthy, Peter Campus

What kind of camera do you use?

Mamiya 7 and Pentax 67
