I am a visual artist and self-publisher based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. Image making is my life; it's my passion. My work has been exhibited in multiple solo and group shows, both locally and internationally. I was a founding member of the Latent Image Collective (2014 - 2019), a group of photographers from around the world. Other notable achievements: I was invited to participate in famed director Werner Herzog's Rogue Film School and I also completed a month-long artist residency art De Liceiras 18 in Porto, Portugal. If that’s not enough, I am also the host of the photography podcast Right Eye Dominant.
