I grew up as an army brat, living in Puerto Rico, Germany, Oklahoma, New York and Connecticut. As a young girl I was intrigued yet afraid of many usual childhood toys, such as the dolls and clowns that my friends played with. Images of these characters haunted both my waking life and dream state, and have now worked their way into my art.
I earned my Bachelor of Fine Art in Photography and Visual Communications Design from the Hartford Art School. I have received numerous awards and scholarships and was one of a few students who received the University of Hartford President to President Scholarship for Outstanding Achievement.
My photographs contain a touch of realism, distortion, and an element of fantasy. My work is comprised of self-portraits. Each portrait is different from the other and provides a portal into each character's individually.
