The landscapes I photograph are more than places; they are stories, histories, and moments in time. Growing up along the Hudson River, I developed a deep connection to its beauty, history, and cultural significance. This heritage inspires my art, reflecting resilience, determination, and the enduring relationship between people and place. My work captures the interplay of light, emotion, and impermanence, encouraging viewers to consider the layered narratives held within the land.
As a descendant of the Great Migration, I am drawn to the ways landscapes hold memory—both personal and collective. The riverbanks, forests, and canals I photograph are not merely scenic views; they are witnesses to migration, labor, and the lives of Black communities seeking new beginnings in the Hudson River Valley. Through my lens, I explore how these spaces shape identity, belonging, and home. By blending personal history, cultural legacy, and a deep sense of place, I aim to honor these landscapes and the stories they carry.
