About


I’m a Bay-Area based queer artist, writer, and therapist (they/them, he/him) who's spent my career engaged in supporting clients of all backgrounds in personal growth, self-expression, and am dedicated to expanding people's viewpoints of transgender and queer viewpoints and perspectives. I'm currently on the Board of Directors at the Mendocino Art Center, supporting an incredible staff of folks bringing art to the coastal communities.


My education includes studies in anthropology, psychology, and documentary photography. This background plus a lot of life experience informs my ongoing projects including 'Here', combining personal statements and portraiture of transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming folk, and Queer Collections, a photography and interview series in collaboration with writer Zoe Rosenblum. I've been honored to document many weddings, commitment ceremonies, and take a selective number of bookings each year in this area.


In addition to photography I have published several graphic novels, and currently work in ceramics, miniatures, and other mixed media continuing my work around personal identity, self-exploration, and queering art.


Please contact me if you're interested in participating in my ongoing projects or wish to discuss other collaborations

I offer no-cost support and mentorship to student and emerging photographers depending on my availability, priority given to queer/trans identified BIPOC, trans, non-binary individuals.
