“I fucking love music, and I fucking love art, and I love connecting with authentic people. It reaches deep inside of us and pulses and thrums whether it’s in the strings of an electric guitar, palms against djembe, or the punch of a tom that lands squarely in your chest.”
Art, for her, is about connection both to ourselves and to others. Her passion lies in visually transmitting the experience in front of her, whether it’s live performance, behind-the-scenes moments, composed portraiture, or a larger event. She describes her role as both responsibility and privilege: “It is my job and privilege to record the experience of you and your passion and transmit it to the masses.”
