Self Portrait Series
{Fears}
I just recently completed Carolyn Mara Borlenghi's The Unapologetic Artist class at The DEFINE School. It was amazing.
Below you will find my project on {Fears} that I created during the course of the class.
Fears. They forebode an uncontrollable feeling of danger and threat whether it be true or not to so many. This project has given me an opportunity to express and work through many of my everyday fears. The fear each image represents was present during the process of each self portrait taken in this series. I feel my art is very deep and personal to me. I find myself drawn to the darker side in photography. Through the use of deep shadows and light in my black and white images I aim to convey a variety of emotions. We all have fears. I believe by viewing and connecting with the fears of others one can begin to face the fears deep within themselves.

VOICE Collection 2015
I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am to be a part of the 2015 VOICE Collection.
My self portrait {The Wind} was chosen out of over 18,000 entries.
I see so many familiar faces and images in this collection of 220 images. To say I feel proud and honored to be a part of this photography community would be an understatement.
This collection will be printed and mounted for display during Click Away in San Antonio from
October 8th - 10th 2015.
Self Portrait Project
I sometimes wonder what was a dream and what was real. Or did my mind take pieces of both and mesh them together to make a whole other truth? Sometimes I can feel a dream more than a memory...

Running Out {Self Portrait Project}
The illimitable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing ocean-tide, on which we and all the universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not....
~Thomas Carlyle
The clock talked loud. I threw it away, it scared me what it talked.

“It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.”
