Born and raised in Cleveland, OH works in NYC.
as stated by the artist:
"My work is a series of color photographs that work to stimulate unconscious emotions, desires, and sexual compulsions, all unified within a dynamic that vacillates between the real and the fantasized. I explore issues related to madness and alienation as they exist in contemporary culture, concentrating on expressions of neurosis, on feelings of anxiety, displacement, and loss of identity."
Her work is beautiful, yet extremely disturbing, and that tension is fascinating to me. I like how the faces are covered/ only parts of the body are shown so the person remains just a person instead of someone specific. She clearly considers color choice when doing her works, and all of them have an overall general color combination. They're rather simplistic. There's not a lot of things in the pictures to distract you, which is an approach that I like a lot. They have this vintage-like feel to them through the use of color and the wallpapers that she uses as backgrounds in most of them. They're familiar, yet completely strange to the viewer.
