AmeriCalifornia StudioWorks

I'm a photographer and a folk artist. I've never gone to school for art, though I read up on it from time to time. I document people and environments. I paint saints and visions.

In the summer of 2022, I published my first book of photographs - Collage de Rachel Wrong. Collage de Rachel Wrong is a peek into the life of an American woman working as a prostitute in Tijuana, Mexico. This book combines Rachel's poetry, photographs by me, and paintings by Gregg Stone, along with other elements based on Rachel's collage work.

When I met Gregg through a friend in Tijuana in 2015, we discovered we had a mutual goal of documenting the unnoticed and unseen elements of a culture. Rachel Wrong opened her life to us and Collage de Rachel Wrong is our tribute to her.
