Rhode Island Fine Art Photographer Resume

Resume

I am a fine art photographer based in Rhode Island with nearly two decades of experience creating compelling imagery across a variety of mediums and formats. A magna cum laude graduate of Hartford Art School, I have exhibited my work extensively throughout New England and have been featured in numerous publications.
