HELLO!

With the use of my handy BFA from College of Visual Arts, I found my way into advertising as a photographer, creative retoucher and illustrator. For the past 28 years, I have had the pleasure creating content for brands including Campbell's Pacific Foods, Lovebird Cereals, BMW, Cadillac, Under Armour, Purina Land O'Lakes, Discover Boating, Belize, Bauer Hockey, BUSH'S Beans, Talenti, Xcel Energy, Edwards, Kayak, Post and Garden of Life.

 

I love to explore and experiment with light, color and texture - whether it’s making a portrait out of mud or telling a story with documentary-style photographs. Talents include, but are not limited to: termite wrangler, carving pumpkins using a letter opener, creating portrait murals using Post-it notes, and retouching marshmallows on a porcupine. A MacGyver in many ways, with or without the use of a paperclip.
