I’m an American multimedia artist with a background in theatre, photography, cinema, stone carving and, most recently, clay. After graduating from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Drama, I left the acting world to study performance and media at the University of Texas at Austin and, later, filmmaking at EICAR, the International Film & Television School in Paris, France.

While I have moved between different industries and art forms over the years, all of my aesthetic work is connected by a love of light, color and rhythm as well as a tactile investigation of the invisible energetic threads tying elements together in both the natural environment and the social, human world.

During my time at the Fish Factory, I fell in love with the Icelandic landscape and its constantly changing patterns of weather, light and color — an awe-inspiring spectrum I have never seen before. I was also inspired by the generous interdisciplinary exchange of cultural and artistic ideas among our dynamic, talented group, which I believe advanced my own practice by leaps and bounds. Every day in Stödvarfjördur brought the gift of something new, and I will always be grateful for this unique experience on a personal as well as a professional level.
