Biography

​

I grew up in Appalachia near Hot Springs, North Carolina. I fell in love with photography when I was thirteen. I love being able to preserve a tiny fragment of time and to being able to gift that moment to other people. 

​

I graduated for the University of North Carolina at Asheville with a Bachelor of Art in 2019 and I now live and work in the same county in which I grew up. 

​

In my art life I create digital composite photographic art. I try to communicate my feelings on topics that I find difficult to discuss in day to day life. I hope that by being open and honest about my experiences I can transform these experiences from being events of isolation to being opportunities for connection.  

​

When I'm not taking pictures, I'm skating with Blue Ridge Roller Derby, Raft Guiding on the French Broad River, and working with my partner to build our house.
