She has a degree in Art Education and became a professional photographer in 2018 when she needed sources to paint.

Statement
Do you remember when you were little and you drove by a horse grazing in a pasture? It filled me with intense joy, knowing that I could someday own one of those magnificent animals. I started photographing horses with the intent of using them as subjects in my paintings, then my excitement for photography grew ten-fold when I met the cowboys and cowgirls who ride and work with these animals every day.
The west is alive and thriving.
Creative imagery is my passion. More specifically, I love capturing the details of the American west. I feel it is so important to capture and share this imagery to communicate the west is still alive and thriving in some parts of the world. I find so much joy when I speak to someone who isn’t aware that cowboys are even real, and I love sharing my passion for the west with others.
