I am deeply grateful that I'm able through Gryphon Photography to provide for the photographic needs of the people of my community and to many communities beyond.
I acknowledge that the lands on which I'm privileged to make photographic art are the stolen, ancestral homelands of the Mi'kmaq and Beothuk peoples.
This includes what is now known as St. John's, NL.
I support justice for these peoples on whose lands I reside as well as the Innu of Nitassinan and the Inuit of Labrador, on which this colonial Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador has been built.
I humbly thank these stewards of the land, past and present, who make possible my portrait-making and photographic practice.
I'm dedicated to ensuring my portraiture and art-practices always remain instruments for expanding and enriching the ongoing, global struggle for Indigenous, racial, social and climate justice.
