LIVE THE MOMENT
LEARNING HOW TO DISAPPEAR While early in my career I was drawn to the natural landscape in black and white, I have swung full circle visually focusing my energy on street photography, the human within the landscape, and artist portraits. Taking my camera on the street makes my soul smile. I love the quote, “you …

SHOOT WHAT YOU LOVE. WORK HARD. STAY HUMBLE. I once showed my portfolio to one of my favorite photographers in NYC. He flipped through the pages of my images saying “this is cool, he’s cool, she’s cool… this isn’t cool.” He asked me why I had a few of those images my book and if …

Q: WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE TO WORK ON THUS FAR? I actually don’t have a favourite, there have been so many films that have meant so much to me on both a personal and professional level. Matrix was probably the film that defined me as a photographer and 20 years later it’s epic to …

I COME FROM A LONG LINE OF WARRIOR WOMEN. I had the amazing privilege of sitting down with my grandmother not too long ago. I had always heard the stories but wanted to hear them myself and write them down. We started from the day she was born in 1922, in Pillaro, Ecuador. A time …

IT NEVER FAILS, I’ll be at a show opening, and someone will come up to my work for the first time, and then promptly ask, “How long did this take?” The answer is always the same, “A while longer than I planned.” I MAKE INTRICATE DIGITAL COLLAGES, combining hundreds if not thousands of my own images …
