I get visions. Compelled to create, I am obsessed with reaching the unattainable: perfection. I am a photographic artist. Perpetually dissatisfied with the real world, I find comfort and joy in creating my own.
This process begins with constructing sets. I believe in utilizing found objects to create these sets recreating a frozen frame of the film that constantly runs in my brain.
When the subject steps into my studio they enter my version of reality. This reality is most often accompanied by classical music, costumes, wigs and assuming a character. The final image is a portrait of the essence of the individual free of constraint.
