This is a collection of portraits of artists and friends from Milwaukee to Los Angeles taken from 2016-2019. With Portraits, I seek to capture a glimpse of the uninhibited inner being of those I photograph, to take record of that moment in time for future generations to behold.
Each of us has a unique story and soul expression. Portraits are a split second connection - capturing the time and space between the subject and myself. Through the medium of photography, I want to make visible, and boldly represent, People of Color, LQBTGIA folx, and Womxn, as they are the ones who have been historically marginalized, stereotyped, and minimized by society. My work involves much experimentation with light and texture; I enjoy pushing the boundaries of traditional photography. There is something so profoundly mysterious about human existence. I attempt to illustrate this wonder through image-based homages to my circle of friends.
‘Delightful Mortals’ will be in display at the Milwaukee Institute of Art + Design (MIAD) from April 24th extended until June 14th 2019. Please contact for more info on this show and to book. Sunshineacidart@gmail.com.
