Photography
I discovered my passion for photography in the late 90s, ran a dark room in college, and got my first digital camera around 2004. In 2016, I photographed and designed the catalog for Twenty-Five: A Celebration | Twenty-Five: A Conclusion, the final shows by founding curator Clint Willour at the Galveston Arts Center. Since then, I've continued as GAC's documentation photographer, capturing over 100 exhibits by summer 2024.

In the Summer of 2022, I joined Misfits Productions to help out with photography and became a member of the board. We participate in seasonal events like Mardi Gras, the Fourth of July, and Dickens on the Strand with elaborate costumes. We produce the Misfits Ball (formerly the Witch's Ball) and will cosponsor Galveston's first Halloween Parade, the Mystical Parade of Boo in 2024.
Music & Art Event Photography
I'm an avid music lover, often photographing shows that I attend and I enjoy doing photography for local artists & musicians. Contact me for rates and availability for event and fine art photography.
Printmaking
I studied printmaking in college and learned about Solarplate, a process that is less toxic than traditional printmaking methods and lends itself well to photography. View my Solarplate printmaking series from 2009. I also enjoy relief printmaking, and since 2020 I have participated in several fundraising initiatives, raising over $1,000 through sales of my linocut prints benefiting local and national organizations.
