I was born in Albuquerque, NM, one day after my parents opened the first contemporary art gallery in Santa Fe. The mysterious objects that pervaded my childhood intrigued me. Seeing those artworks felt like a secret alchemical language that I wanted to learn. I grew up in nine states across the United States, Jamaica, and Germany. I married a Brazilian and have traveled extensively to Brazil. My parents belong to different classes, one wealthy and one not. Belonging was always a challenge, but this broad perspective on places and people steeped deeply into my perspective and fuels my artistic point of view. Although I majored in International Relations, I returned to the arts after an intense medical crisis. I earned an MFA in photographic art at Brooks Institute and have worked full-time as an artist since 2010. I am still seeking to decipher that alchemical language or, at least, to invent his own. I force camera sensors to record the energetic fingerprint of our universe and render the data into a visual language that expresses my wonder at reality's immaterial nature. I aim to create work that explores the intersection of art, science, and spirituality. I divide my artistic practice between working with contemporary digital imaging technology to create what I call Metagraphs, which present visible artifacts hinting at the energetic nature of the universe we inhabit, and using art as a form of activism through creating hard-hitting social justice art projects and installations with a strong presence.
