The power of narrative, or story telling is at the foundation of much of my art. A single picture creates a complex and descriptive moment in time. I enjoy crafting and documenting new forms of a visual short story. I grew up in South Seattle living in Holly Park Low Income Housing then graduated from Rainier Beach High School. I continued my education at Central Washington University and graduated with a Fine Art Degree from the University of Washington. I have traveled extensively and lived for a time in the South West. I make my home in the Skagit Valley in Mount Vernon Washington.
I am a photographer and visual artist specializing in street photography, cultural documentation, and community storytelling. My work explores social history, public gatherings, celebrations, and moments of resilience-from urban street life to cultural events and community traditions. Through photography, I preserve lived experiences and the stories that shape our shared history
