I am a gender non-conforming trans man, mother, and husband living in Portland, Oregon. I view the craft of photography as a way to claim and redefine the lens through which I see the world and the world sees me. I see photography as a tool to reveal my stories in counter balance to the stories attached to me by external cultural forces. The work I create carry my artistic perspective on my trans experience.
My work has been on exhibit through Center for Fine Art Photography, Rayko Photo, and Cameraworks Gallery. My recent work, As I Am, was selected as part of BlueSky Gallery’s Future Forward show in 2019, and a feature exhibition at Paragon Arts Gallery in 2020. I extend my gratitude to these spaces that have highlighted my work,as well as Sitka Center for Art and Ecology for having me as their artist in residence for 2020.
