I have always been interested in art, but I wasn't quite sure where to go with it. As an undergraduate, I studied art history. After that, I briefly attended graduate school in art history. At that point, I realized that I wanted to make art rather than researching, writing, etc. I had always been drawn to photography so I started there. Initially, I was self taught. I saved some money and set up a small darkroom. After a 10 year hiatus from school, I returned for an MFA in photography. Although I took a circuitous route to get to where I am, I find that my background in art history strongly informs my current studio practice.
