Here are two videos of Self-Liberation, my large art installation at the University of Memphis! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together (with an amazing build team!)

My class had its final gallery critique today. I am going to miss these people, but I am happy to be graduating school! The world is full of possibilities!

The opening to the show is just 17 hours away! Come see why I have been quiet for the past couple of months! It is huge! I am honored to be in a show with such talented emerging artists! The show is free and open to the public in the Fogelman Galleries at the University of Memphis! The opening is from 5 to 7! Also, it is a two for one show because the Box Gallery downstairs is featuring the solo work of Whitney Gresham! I look forward to seeing everyone!

One week from today will be the big reveal of "Self-Liberation." The opening is from 5 to 7. It is free and open to the public and children are welcome to come! I hope to see you there!

My thesis exhibition is just 3 short weeks away! I would love to see you at the opening! I will also be having a short talk April 18th about the show and why/how I did something so large scaled.

My artist website has been updated and it is more about my artwork this time around. I still love taking family portraits, but I wanted to showcase the other stuff I have been up to the past 2 years. Check it out at

Did you know that I do more than photograph? You could call me a mixed media artist! Here is a woodblock print I am currently working on. There are some edits that I plan to make, but overall I am happy with it!

2am and still hard at work! I am almost ready to wrap up the two pieces that are in the art exhibition on February 4th at the University of Memphis. Listening to Queen in one ear and the other one is uncovered so I don't wake up the kids singing 😆 I love what I do!
