In my art practice, I work primarily in photography, video, mixed media, dance, and performance but I also feel myself drawn to non-traditional art methods such as baking and gaming. Since 2010, most of my artistic projects have been collaborative efforts with artists and non-artists alike. I like the experimental character of such collaborations, and I'm always curious about the outcome of such a participatory effort. While participating in these collaborative projects, I reflect on feelings of trust, closeness, belonging, and the effect of memory on my sense of affinity.

The New York Foundation for the Arts/ARTSPIRE granted fiscal sponsorship to my project A Family's Secret "a priori”. My work has been shown in solo exhibitions at Miami Beach Urban Studios, Miami, FL, the Jewish Community Center in Dresden, Germany, the New Britain Museum of Art in New Britain, CT, at Light Work in Syracuse, NY, and at the Paul Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles, CA.

I hold a Master’s degree in Fine Arts in New Media with focus on Photography from transart institute in Berlin. Currently, I'm an instructor for art and photography at CNM in Albuquerque, NM, and SNHU in Manchester, NH.
