“As an artist, I don’t believe we should ever limit ourselves. The world does that enough.

My photographs of nude men, for example, confront what our patriarchal society forbids. Each serves my search for imagery that reflects who we are, regardless of gender definitions.

Many people identify me as a photographer, but I am an artist first. Exploration is the key, and my studio is a laboratory for research.

Emotion must be visible in the tangible object, and color often speaks for me.

You conceive an image or idea, but how it goes into the world can take many different forms. Sifting and sorting to find new meanings is what pushes me forward.”
