June 2025- Artist residency at Mount St. Helen's Institute
This past weekend I previewed my AIR site. This month I have the honor of being an artist in residence at Mount St. Helen's Institute. I look forward to learning more about the history, the people, and landscape. I'll be experimenting with different avant-garde photography techniques and hope to create some really cool shots! *Artwork coming soon*

April 2025- Getting ready for film soup summer!
This past April I flew back home to New England after living on the west coast for the last two years. I spent time in NH (my home state), Vermont (let's go Phish!), and Boston (love of my life). I then made the decision to do more film souping this year. I decided to film soup my shots from New England due to the unpredictability of film souping and the unpredictability of the area's harsh weather and landscape. I used various native plants, cranberry juice, and maple syrup from Vermont to soup my film. Results above!
Film souping: process where you shoot a roll of color film, dip the roll in a mixture of various things, dry it, develop it. This process essentially "destroys" some of the photo while creating abstract and psychedelic looking effects.
