Artist Statement
I got into photography about 7 years ago, I taught myself through watching videos and reading all I could get my hands on. I’m in my 6th year of having my own business doing Real Estate photography, portraits, aerial drone, and just started doing video walkthroughs. For fun I do landscapes and long exposure photography. Growing up I liked to sketch, that creative outlet led me to photography. Art has impacted my life by being a way for me to express myself and also
became my work.

Bio
I was diagnosed when I was 16 in November 2006 with a craniopharyngioma brain tumor. This specific brain tumor is attached or near the pituitary gland. I had a craniotomy to remove the tumor with the pituitary gland since the tumor was mostly
incasing the gland. Since I no longer have the hormone production associated with the pituitary gland, I must take replacement hormones in the form of several pills and injections. I'm now 29. If you'd like to see more of my photography please visit
