Creating artwork by the use of photography is a way of life for me. I strive to show all parts of humanity that many individuals do not care to think about or often notice at first glance. As a society, we choose what we want to see and through these photographs and written word, the viewer is confronted with community members throughout Minnesota whose stories often go untold. By meeting people where they are at in life, their truths are captured, even if their truths are not socially accepted. These stories that you read are from the perspective of that person, shared through their lens. We are our stories.
