Photography became my creative escape in 2020. While it has always been a love of mine, this year it took on a new role in my affair with art. An affair that was overshadowed by the demands of everyday life, finally was given space to come to life. In a lot of ways, the photos here are personal to me. They remind me of my perseverance as I stood on the shoreline four nights in a row struggling to capture a single shot of the bioluminescence. And that, juxtaposed the grim canvas of the world, beauty can be found in a sunset. In the end, I hope they provide a shared experience or emotion between you and me.
APRIL/DECEMBER 2020
Food photography has become my jam! It’s an outlet that fills both my soul and my stomach. This year, I took on the responsibilities of feeding a sourdough starter and made me some bread. With more time in the kitchen, I also chipped away at learning some of my mother’s recipes, and took photos along the way.

Smokey skies brought an uneasy vibe to the coast during a long fire season. It felt like an unsolicited message of darkness in the distance.

Someone had to document it. In some shape or form, the election of 2020 will go down in the history books. It defined so much, for so many.
