I am a photographic artist and content creator based in Bentonville, Arkansas. With over two decades of experience, I capture still and moving images that tell compelling stories often rooted in Arkansas culture, landscape, and identity. My work has been featured in countless publications, including National Geographic and Communication Arts, and exhibited across the country in museums and galleries such as Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Alongside my fine art projects like Habitats and Layers, I’ve found ways to blend art and social media marketing through projects like #SelfieThrone and #QuarantineHabitats. I also produce strategic visual content for marketing and editorial use. I’m known for my collaborative approach, technical skill, and ability to deliver high-impact visuals across platforms.
