I have been in love with the backside of the camera since I first picked up my mother's Pentax K-1000 at age 14. I grew up in New Market, Tennessee, photographing broken-down cars in overgrown fields, hound dogs on porches, and crazy musician friends and family. After high school I moved to California and studied (the first time) at Mills College and (the last time) at San Francisco State University, where I completed an MFA in Cinema. My rolls of film have grown into reels of celluloid and are steadily transforming into tiny tapes inserted into digital machines, more suitable for city living. I currently support my own projects by freelancing through heatcar productions - everything from Associate Producer on a documentary about the new SF-Oakland Bay Bridge to Camera Operator on a children's video. With a healthy dose of catering jobs to round out my artistic appetite, I continue to create visual stories that draw upon memory, and edit to internal musical rhythms, which were ever-present in my upbringing.
