I am a digital artist who uses a camera in my process of creating images that re-imagine and reflect the common experience of being human. Some of these stories are abstractions that broadly evoke an overarching emotion. Others are carefully constructed and intricately detailed story lines filled with questions and clues. These details function as “chapters” that encourage the viewer to deconstruct, examine, and reconstruct the story in a way that is uniquely meaningful to them. By imparting their own experiences and perspective, the potentially ever-changing past, present, and future depicted in the scene are revealed anew. My current series, “The Rescue”, allegorically examines the concepts of grace and salvation as antidotes to weakness, anxiety, and hopelessness. The images reveal the "decisive moment" when something disrupts an entrenched pattern of negativity with a new perspective - one of hope - that ultimately foster renewed strength, personal fortitude, and empowerment. I am a life-long resident of Frederick County, Maryland.
