Artist statement:

"I've always felt the best photographs are felt as much as seen. As a person with ADHD, I've been lucky to find a vehicle to follow my curiosity down a host of diverse roads. I hope my photographs evoke a sense of curiosity in others and, sometimes, empathy as well."

Images will be color, black and white, and infrared.

The Argus Museum is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. The Museum is not open on weekends.

We all carry something: grief and hope, memory and story, the spoken and the unspoken. What Do You Carry? invites you to an evening of shared words and witnessing, and to our open mic and community story circle, where you're welcome to share something of your own: a poem, a song, a story, a reflection, a piece of art that speaks to what you carry. Come to read, or simply come to listen; every way of being here is welcome.
