I am a second-year MFA candidate at Indiana University, Bloomington. My focus is on experimental photography, pinhole cameras, fibers, and installation. I also have experience with ceramics and printmaking! I received my BFA from Saint Mary’s College in 2022.
My work is about my daily struggle with mental health, specifically anxiety and OCD. I use the pinhole cameras I make to calm down when I am anxious and capture my surroundings as abstractions.
I love vintage cameras and toy cameras! When I am not playing with one of my toy cameras, usually you can find me experimenting in the darkroom with chemigrams and the like!
