I have been a photographer for 40 years, focusing on documentary, portrait, and fine art projects. My work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, Newsweek Online, the Los Angeles Review of Books, Grazia (France), Pozytyw (Poland), The Buenos Aires Herald (Argentina), La Fotografia Actual (Spain), The Independent (UK), and Geo Saisson (Germany).
For the past 15 years, I have documented prison art programs in California—both as a volunteer, and under contract with the California Arts Council. I have photographed in all 36 of California’s adult state prisons, and serve on the advisory board of the Prison Arts Collective, a provider of prison arts programming.
I co-published, with Dr. Larry Brewster, the book Paths of Discovery: Art Practice and Its Impact in California State Prisons (now in its 2nd edition, available on Amazon). In June 2022 a monograph of my work—Ex Crucible: The Passion of Incarcerated Artists—was published by Daylight Books.
