What is your favorite type of art to create?

I am a multimedia artist who, over the past decade, has reconnected with and dedicated myself to storytelling through photography.

At the ripe age of 53, I could focus on placing the work within juried exhibitions and curated spaces where it can be encountered in a meaningful manner.
