I shoot medium-format digital documentation and portraits for artists, galleries, and institutions in addition to my own nationally and internationally recognized work in photography, filmmaking, and screenwriting. I’ve been awarded the Erik A. Takulan Memorial fellowship at Djerassi Artist Residency and the recipient of Film Independent Directing & Producing and Chesterfield screenwriting fellowships. As an alpinist I’ve made significant solo climbs and several first ascents. I recieved my MFA from Columbia University and live & work out of Los Angeles.

My own large-format work exploits photography's inherent dialectic of pictorialism and documentary evidence to explore the nature of time in the contemporary wildland/urban interface. Proceeding from conventions in Western landscape photography of historical documentation, romanticized idealization, and dystopian topography, my images address an impacted and transfigured but immutable, continuum of Nature. Rather than “capturing a moment in time,” I posit the process of existential change as a sublime Post-Wilderness. My experimental, documentary, and narrative films engage similar themes of environmental alienation, time, and change.
