About Me

Thirty-Four, Charleston, S.C., September 2009I have been taking photos since my mother gave me a Polaroid camera when I was a child.

I hold a Master’s degree in Media Arts and a B.A. in Journalism/Mass Communications from the University of South Carolina.

I am currently employed at The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C. — the largest newspaper in South Carolina. My duties include multimedia production and web site updates.

I held my first photographic exhibition in November 2006 when the McCrory Gallery in Columbia, S.C., hosted my 25-print show featuring my black and white film work.

In 2008 I was awarded 1st place by the South Carolina Press Association for their first-ever statewide open division online video category for my video work at The State. 

Last year I was selected to participate in the 2009 Palmetto Portrait Project, a multi-year collaboration with noted and emerging S.C. photographers commissioned to capture portraits of the state's citizens.  The PPP committee selected 12 of my submissions and they are currently on display at the James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine on the MUSC campus. The four-year project will conclude in spring 2010 with a complete exhibition of the work of all the participating artists at the South Carolina State Museum in Columbia. Needless to say, I am honored to show my work alongside so many talented photographers in such wonderful venues! 

Recent hobbies and interests include watching and writing about weird film, running, cycling, reading, roller derby, and, of course, continuing my exploration of photography in all its forms.
