The image may appear in books, exhibition catalogs, or other documentary publications related to the artist's work.

The Print

Open Series:
A Living Gallery

This collection of vibrant color photographs is my personal visual journal of my home, Southern California. While I grew up on the East Coast, the eclectic palette and structural beauty of LA motivate me every day to discover new ways of capturing its character through the camera's lens. This series is an ongoing exploration of the city's unique style and sometimes surprising sincerity.
