Artist statement
My work is a continued investigation of self. My desire is to create an
aesthetic paradox.
My photographs are most successful I feel when they kindle a sense of
perplexed curiosity.
I employ a visual narrative style, giving the viewer the choice to
“read” into the picture, or “look” at the picture.
I invite the viewer into my life in very small steps. I like the idea of
presenting something public yet private.
I follow my instincts faithfully so that one day I will be rewarded with
the answer to my existence.
I am a graduate of Ontario College of art and design in Toronto Ontario,
Canada.
My major is fine art photography. I also completed my social service
workers at Humber College.
My goal is to touch
the world in two ways. Principally I would like to empower people who
are struggling with
their current life situations. I would do this by providing appropriate
assistance in
a conscientious and
open minded manner. Second, as a continuum, I would like to introduce fine art
photography to the
social work field. This medium of art will create visual metaphoric voices for
involved
individuals. Engaging these people to share, educate and be heard
through the eye of the lens. This will also help break
some of the silences that exist among people who experience
homelessness.
