About Me

As a Providence, Rhode Island native I find inspiration in the vibrant and diverse community that I grew up in. My work as a photo-based artist centers on portraiture, with a deep focus on subjects of color, capturing the true nature of Providence. Through my lens, I aim to craft images that celebrate and empower people.

Each photograph is a collaborative journey, an exploration of identity and humanity. It is through these intimate moments that I seek to evoke a sense of being seen, being held. My work is a visual narrative, a declaration that our stories, our faces, and our lives are worthy of being seen and celebrated.

Looking forward, I am excited to expand my artistic practice through event curation and exploring new mediums. My mission continues to be to create intentional events that center around community, connection, and celebration to inspire liberation.
