当观众是一个积极的参与者时，一件艺术作品就完成了. 我希望我作品的观众能在几个层面上进行互动. My intention is to connect ideally with our primal need for play.

Born and raised in Birmingham Alabama, 我于1983年在伯明翰的阿拉巴马大学获得雕塑和摄影学士学位，1985年在俄亥俄州立大学获得艺术硕士学位.

我的作品曾在伯明翰附近的画廊展出, regionally across the southeast, southwest, and mid-atlantic in both galleries and museums, and in the Czech Republic. 2004年，我获得了阿拉巴马州国务院艺术艺术家奖学金.
作为一名摄影师，我被光线所吸引:要么是光线的缺失，要么是在特定场景下光线的微妙.Â在摄影图像中捕获的光是在我拍摄的环境中发现的光. I do not alter the scenes, but rather intentionally seek out unintentional still-lives, or tableaus, as they exist within these spaces.Â有一个正式的构图结构，是用相机捕获的. But within the structural formality something is askew.Â最常见的是，它们是日常活动的物品，打破了构图的形式，隐藏在阴影或小空间中，等待在第二次或第三次观看后从图像中出现.Â它们是我们容易忽视的生活细节，这些细节使生活变得“人性化”。.
Despite the perception of a photograph’s reality or “truth”, the mechanical act of photographing a scene changes it.Â正是这种变化和它的可信度使我对摄影着迷，并使我一次又一次地回到家里的平凡活动. There is a hidden richness there; quiet and unassuming revealed through light and shadow.
