I began working with the wet plate collodion process in 2019, drawn to its ethereal beauty after commissioning a series of ambrotypes. What started as a fascination quickly became a full-time pursuit. Since then, I’ve held twelve solo exhibitions and, in 2024, completed my Silver Lining tour—photographing at historic sites across North Dakota and Deadwood, South Dakota.

Working primarily in natural light, I create images that echo the past while speaking to the present. I regularly travel to lecture and demonstrate early photographic techniques, and my historically inspired work is now archived in six Midwestern museums.
