Self Portrait during Urban Exploration
A Short Vita
Selected Vita Points
I have been fascinated by optics and light since receiving a Looking Glass at the age of 7.
I received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester New York.
Eerie scenes of figures bathed in light have haunted my dreams since I was a child. Watching horror & suspense films late at night fueled my impulse to make photos.
My college teaching career began at Washington University,
Currently I teach photography at Lindenwood University and St. Charles Community College.
My work has been exhibited in St. Louis, San Francisco, Italy and the Czech Republic.
