Growing up in Europe, I found inspiration in the work of theater photographer Rosemarie Clausen and in the incredible energy of actor Gustaf Gruendgens. These experiences led me to go into a career as a theater photographer at Buffalo’s Studio Arena Theater and the Irish Classical Theater.
artist's statement
Influenced by writers such as James Joyce , who layered a lifetime into one day, and composers who layer sounds and rhythms into one bar, I try to express in my photography the same compression of time and experience; an assemblage of multiple images, the result creating an elusive, unpredictable combination which suggests a more complex reality.
