Artist's Statement
Statement of Work
In all my time living in New York City, I could depend on the Twin Towers to let me know where I'm at when I got disoriented. They were my compass. As long as you knew the difference between the buildings, you could easily understand where you were in relation to lower Manhattan.
I later began wondering if it was as easy to see the spot I got lost at when atop The Towers. North, South, East and West are metaphors for that compass.
Resume
Resume
I began learning the art of photography at a local after-school program. My Teacher/Mentor informally taught the class using his own money and materials.
Attending the High School of Art & Design deepened my photographic interests. Shortly after graduation, I got my first photographic job—selling cameras.
I'm a graduate of Pratt Institute’s undergraduate fine art program where I received my degree, and broad insight into the photographic world. These experiences solidified my aspiration to be in that world.
