Mostly working in medium-format and digital, she also shoots panoramically and through the viewfinder. Her photographs have been shown in San Diego, LA and New York. In addition, she has shown photo-based pieces that employ pencil, crayon, embroidery and projection. Publishing credits include the NY Times, NY Magazine, Village Voice, Time Out NY, Dutch, Brooklyn Edible, Japanese Vogue, Guns, Luna, Nona Brooklyn and Newsday.
