Family time in Black Canyon
Between Hotchkiss, Colorado, and Black Canyon of the Gunnison… I had a really nice time with family in Colorado this past weekend
The beginning of the trip: Colorado, goblin Valley, mystic Hot Springs
The beginning days of our iconic and special road trip a few months ago. Some of my very favorite pictures I’ve ever taken and some of my favorite memories with my best friend. Winds whipping so hard we had to sleep in our car in goblin valley, but still the most incredible moments of our lives. Bryce Canyon, Valley ...
Mendocino, Spirit camp and Santa Cruz
Northern California has always had a special place in my heart. This trip just cemented more feelings of magic and divine beauty.
Some of the best Polaroids ever
From rock and sand formations in Big Sur, California to incredibly sacred moments at Wilbur Hot Springs in Northern California with two of my favorite soulmates, these are some of my most special images to date.
The final Polaroids from our road trip
I’ll be posting these in reverse order, but I finally got to scanning in Polaroids from my big road trip with Kat 🌙 last month or actually the month before from Colorado through Utah to Nevada, California up the coast and back down before coming back to Colorado through Sedona. These images are mainly from our fin...
A few Polaroids
I finally spent the last few days scanning in Polaroids for my big road trip and also organizing some from recent years. Here are a few samples from my studio and the Hudson Valley of New York about a year ago and also a few from the Sand dunes and river here in Colorado over the past couple of days and weeks. There ar...
Man’s (my) Search for Meaning
Art series : Search for MeaningWhite Sands, NMUSA2024This series encapsulates a healing voyage into the desert. I visited New Mexico on a solo-journey down south during the spring of 2024, attempting to heal my mind and body from a continuation of accrued trauma. This trip began with the solar eclipse and ended with a ...
Back in Colorado after NYC & Boston
I had a pretty crazy art show in New York City a few weeks ago now. It was a heat wave and there was no AC. That being said, I made some incredible connections and had the best time being surrounded by my art and working on some new paintings. I miss the city so much and it feels like home. I tried to make a post a few...
the oldest earth in the world
The first morning I woke up alone after sleeping in my car in a tent camping spot at ghost ranch about a month and a half ago... I was alone without cell service, still working through fear of being alone in nature without the ability to communicate with anyone. I mustered up the courage to walk down a dried up riverbe...
first night at ghost ranch
my first night at ghost ranch in new mexico a month or so ago...
White Sands
New Mexico is the land of enchantment. The only word that I can think of to describe my relationship with this place and the geographic formations is 'mystical.' I took the highest level religion class in college called 'comparative mysticism.' In this course, we learned that the word 'mysticism'...
Life on the road
From Monahans sands to Carlsbad caverns, life on the road has been so much fun.
Enchanted Rock
This was one of my first photoshoots in a state/ national park, all alone... it was a little unsettling given the swarms of people and lack of cell service but it was so cathartic to set up my camera and take these self-portraits... This park is called 'enchanted rock' in Texas... given my rushed timeframe for ...
Meat Conference Reflection & Thistle Photographs
As some of you may know, I attended a meat conference last week called "What Good Shall I Do." It is / was all about Regenerative Agriculture, Permaculture, and saving our planet. It was hosted by a company called Force of Nature Meats (Amazing meat in Texas) on Roam Ranch. I learned so so much. I will be makin...
Faith in water
Who knew Texas had gorgeous water
Life & death
These screenshots were taken from videos the evening of the eclipse when we killed and skinned two rabbits for dinner. Between this experience and the meat conference that I was just at in Texas, I have finally begun developing a much deeper relationship with the food I eat. The cycle of life is precious and sacred. Gi...
more magick
A few more favorites from the eclipse. As always more to come. And thank you for your patience…
Solar Eclipse / pure Magick
I don’t know where to begin… This past 24 to 48 to 72 hours has been pure magic. I drove to Texas from my new home in Colorado high in the mountains at 10,000 feet through New Mexico all the way down to Southern Texas right on the border of Mexico. I saw the eclipse. Wildlife, bones, animals, photo shoots, art, rev...
Sun & Nature
Settling into Colorado. Highs and Lows. Trying to trust the process. The sun feels divine. It is my drug and guiding light.
more moments from the past - rejection from yale
looking back at these images of my first coffee table book, i'm getting so so excited to start laying out my new book soon!!!! I didn't get into Yale MFA program... I'm still waiting to hear back from RISD but unless I get the full scholarship I don't think grad school is the right choice for me now... ...
The day the world shut down (& life announcement)
I am currently moving to Colorado, specifically to the high mountains of this state (Summit County). It is a long story of surrender and serendipity from the past few weeks, but nevertheless, thats the primary life update (more words and thoughts to come on this). I am continuing to work on organization and archiving /...
iphone images from march 2020

More Memories & Archives from the past...
Thank you all so much for your support here. As I continue to organize my archives and move forward with my art, I want to share my favorite moments from the past. Art shows, women's circles, modeling, dancing, photoshoots, paintings, mixed media. A myriad of moments in NYC and beyond. Grateful for these times, how...
Help.
I hope you’re doing well. I was just banned from Vimeo yesterday. 7 years of work and hundreds of videos were taken down. I lost over ten thousand followers/ community. It was a place where I was able to post all of my video art portfolio and as a result I acquired numerous jobs over the years. I have been going back...
The last few days in hawaii
I met two angels here Ashton and JoEl who were hosting us on the big island. They were such a dream to photograph. I’ve also included some of my final self-portraits and memories here :)
Hawaii - The Big Island
It feels like I flew half way around the world for only a few days in paradise. I thought it would be too hard, the time in the air, the time difference, but it’s been amazing. Here are some images from the first few hours after waking up. And from the first 24 hours. I’m in love. The air is pure ecstasy. Existing ...
Life
A collection of images from the past. A few from this past week and a few from this past year
New year, New work
As some of you may know my dream is to photograph alongside wild animals, naked in nature. Until I can make this happen on a large scale, I have decided to start painting and collaging with animals on top of my nude art. Here is one of my new explorations and experiments. It is very fun and cathartic for me to do this....
Graduate School Portfolio
I wanted to share some of the images that I am submitting for graduate school. I couldn't include everything here due to 'community guidelines' and censorship online... but hopefully i'll be able to share my work in galleries, museums and my next fine art book soon. Thank you all for your support during...
