Abstract
My artwork mixes photography, video, printmaking, and archives, to explore the ideas of self, truth, and identity. My artwork has been exhibited across the U.S. in dozens of group exhibitions, along with a recent solo exhibition at Bradley University in Peoria, IL. I was awarded a 2021 Honorable Mention for the Dorthea Lange–Paul Taylor Prize from the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University for my in-progress series Forest From A Tree which is about my life as an adopted person and the search for my birth family. I continue work on this story and the aforementioned themes in my senior capstone exhibition We’ve Adopted Someone Special, where I invite the viewer to become a part of my story by being immersed in my artworks, which in some cases are interactive.
