As a visual artist, I use photography to explore the experience of grief and maternal identity, the meaning and power of identity, and sociocultural questions and consequences. The challenges we face in trying to acknowledge our ourselves (our maternal natures), our children (if we have any), acknowledge our situation, and still be a part of our communities. I'm currently collaborating with an organization

called We Carry You Still. Together we are trying to provide better educational knowledge around the fact that 30% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. As well as trying to provide better resources for those that do experience a loss. My goals are to examine the social interactions and implications in building relationships as a bereaved mother, to promote better education around child loss, what resources are available, and breaking social stigma and isolation.

In addition, I’m passionate about expanding the term “motherhood”. Documenting women that have many multi-layers experiences of their maternal identity whether they are mothers in the traditional sense or not.

My photographic process is an exploration in maternal identity after child loss, an exploration in how to share and bring awareness through my process and further explore how child loss changes the female experience. Through self-portraits and community portraits I'm attempting to show the beauty, the strength, and the resilience of the many women that experience child loss.
