During the summer of 2026, I had the pleasure of being sent a Lomo’Instant Wide Glass Film Camera to document a month of my artistic process.
I was able to document the birth of my mail club, the state of my room and myself during the month of June. I treated the photo album as a scrapbook of my time with the camera. This time reminded me how much photography has always been intertwined with my art practice , and lent me to start incorporating it back into my life.
“I enjoyed romanticizing my process through the lens. Typically, my days can be pretty similar: carving, editing, printing, sleeping, eating, rinse, repeat. But with a camera, I was able to take a second to explore the beauty in those moments I take for granted a lot of the time. Doing what I love for as long as I want.”

Lomography Instant Photography
In August of 2025, I had the opportunity of a lifetime to create hand printed merchandise for one of my favorite musicians, Rachael Jenkins.
After posting my “Through the Grapevine” print on Instagram, Rachael reached out asking if I would be interested in making a limited run of tee shirts for her album release show at Sleepwalk in Brooklyn on September 4th 2025. Given just over 2 weeks, I hand printed 25 of the shirts myself and transport them to location. By the end of the album release show, we had sold over half of the shirts.
They were then also sold at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn at the Better Company Records Festival in October. The rest were sold on Rachaels band camp, previously linked below.

pace’s Test print pop up shop
During my time at Pace University I became involved in the Test Print Pop Up Shop, which is a once-a-semester student vendor art fair. After my first semester vending my work at the Pop Up Shop, I became involved in the process of it becoming almost entirely student run!
I, alongside 2 of my classmates, organized the next 3 semesters of Pace University’s Test Print Pop Up Shop. Alongside our classes, we organized and prepared for the event; including meeting weekly to create advertisements on campus, running preparatory events to introduce vendors to one another and prepare them for the event, run an Instagram page to help promote the event on and off campus, field questions from vendors via email organize each person with the needed supplies day of, and create our own work to sell at the Pop Up Shop.
The Test Print Pop Up Shop continues to be student run, and one of Pace University’s Art department’s most popular events of the semester.
