Coming of age as a woman and a young artist simultaneously, the pressure to study the self through images of the body was something that never felt true to me. If you want to know who I am, I will show you. See what I see.

As an introvert and an observer, I found quickly that through the camera I was able to show the delicacy of the quiet I am most at home in. A Quiet Eye confronts slowly, and consistently the idea that a self-portrait has to contain the body. Over the past seven years, I have spent a week every summer drawing into this voice. A Quiet Eye is a truthful replication of my mind’s eye as I am capable of making, a love letter to the quiet.
