About Me
I was born and raised in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, New York. I always had a knack for the creative side of things. I was first introduced to formal photography at the age of 15 during a high school photography class. Black and white film developing quickly became a love as well as printing my own images in the darkroom.
​
After high school, I traveled a winding road through life which included several years at college full-time and part-time as well as having a child. Photography was always a love and a passion of mine but frequently life required it take a backseat.
​
In 2015, I acquired a studio space in the YOHO Artists Community in Yonkers, New York where I have been able to develop my creative side. In 2020, I finished my Bachelor’s degree in Photography from Lehman College in New York.
I have spent some time exploring various avenues of photography and have found that I am most drawn to images that focus on the surreal and slightly darker sides of life. I enjoy exploring abandoned locations and ruins found along the hiking trail as well as cemeteries.
My most recent endeavor, The Creepy Baby Project, involves documenting a love and fascination for composition dolls from the late 1800s and early 1900s. I am currently exploring various avenues of alternative printing techniques as well as developing a book. Visit The Creepy Baby Project to learn more. As of September 2022, I have moved out of the Yonkers studio and into a studio space in Port Chester, NY.
