Photography – Baltimore
As an artist, my story is rather unremarkable. I have never spent time in a prison or a mental institution. I don\'t throw myself into my work to compensate for a lost love. In fact, I haven’t even had any formal artistic training.
I was born and raised in the Philadelphia area and landed in Baltimore in 1996. A product of the Catholic school system, I had no choice but to find a career in communications since I spent the majority of my education studying English. Luckily, I enjoy writing. I have edited a magazine and multiple newsletters, written and produced an e-newsletter, managed a health and wellness website, written many brochures and other publications, and I’ve even helped to launch an iPhone app. I believe in giving back to the community, and I’ve used my skills to help promote some local non-profits.
My photography has appeared in the Creative Alliance’s Self-Taught Artists exhibit as well as other exhibits sponsored by the Creative Alliance and Sowebo Arts, Inc. My photos of New Orleans were showcased in a Sowebo Arts exhibit commemorating the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. In addition, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield has featured my photos in its member magazine and its Mediterranean lifestyle health and wellness calendar.
