About Me
My images are often contemplations on the point in which documentary photography mingles with poetry, cultural memory, and mythology. I am drawn to spaces with musical connections. My work has been exhibited in both the United States and the United Kingdom, including the Hereford Photography Festival, Cincinnati FotoFOCUS Biennial, and Institute 193 in Lexington, KY. I have been featured on vice.com, noisey.com, the Oxford American’s Eyes on the South, and RawFile.
I have called many places home. I am currently residing in my hometown of Lexington, KY. I received a BA First Class Honours in Photography from Hereford College of Arts and an MFA in Documentary Photography from the University of Wales, Newport.
