Tell us about you
I am an extremely introverted eighteen year-old girl with next to no social life (and loving every second of it). I live and breathe artwork. I have an undying hunger to create and attempt to bring new things to the table. I despise redundancy and I crave uniqueness and originality. I adore blindingly bright colors and violence/chaos.

The Art of Illumination: The Limbourg Brothers and the Belles Heures of Jean de France, Duc de Berry
March 2, 2010–June 13, 2010
The Metropolitan Museum Of Art
Robert Lehman Wing
The Belles Heures (1405–1408/9) of Jean de Berry, a treasure of The Cloisters collection, is one of the most celebrated and lavishly illustrated manuscripts in this country. Because it is currently unbound, it is possible to exhibit all of its illuminated pages as individual leaves, a unique opportunity never to be repeated. The exhibition will elucidate the manuscript, its artists—the young Franco-Netherlandish Limbourg Brothers—and its patron, Jean de France, duc de Berry. A select group of precious objects from the same early fifteenth-century courtly milieu will place the manuscript in the context of the patronage of Jean de Berry and his royal family, the Valois.

Tell us about you
I am a photographer, writer, dancer, endless dreamer and a struggling soul. I have been an Irish dancer for 10 years and I now teach an adult class, and I used to compete at a championship level.
Photography isn’t just a passion or a talent for me, it’s life. It’s what makes me whole and what makes me complete as the person I am. I never stop dreaming, conceptualizing, thinking, and formulating ideas. I am a conscious and unconscious creative mind.

“Two men look out through the same bars: One sees the mud, and one sees the stars.”- Frederick Langbridge, A Cluster of Quiet Thoughts
If you’ve placed second in a writing contest, will you jump for joy and push for better results the next time or will you be discouraged and find an excuse not to join again?
In life, you are always filled with choices. You may opt to have a pessimist’s view and live a self-defeated life or you may decide to take the optimist’s route and take a challenging and fulfilling life.

I photograph pretty people in interesting concepts, usually “out of the box” situations. I guess you can say I am usually in wonderland when it comes to photography, or at least the type of concepts I like to shoot. I’ve been doing this for a little over a year and I am hoping to grow more and learn more as time passes by.

How many times have you caught yourself saying that there could be no other solution to a problem – and that that problem leads to a dead end? How many times have you felt stumped knowing that the problem laying before you is one you cannot solve.
Did it feel like you had exhausted all possible options and yet are still before the mountain – large, unconquerable, and impregnable? When encountering such enormous problems, you may feel like you’re hammering against a steel mountain. The pressure of having to solve such a problem may be overwhelming.
But rejoice! There might be some hope yet!

If you have a bachelor degree/education background; what is it?
I don’t have much more than half an A Level in Art, mostly because, frankly, the subject is so terribly boring. My teachers only ever told me what was bad about my work, and left out what was good.
I am a big fan of constructive criticism, but in my own little world it means telling them what you like as well.
