Photography
Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember; I've always wanted to record what was going on around me. In 1993 I moved to Chicago. During the 23 years I lived there, I photographed the city from my perspective. At the same time I started to get involved in the LGBT movement and started to photograph LGBT community. I have well over 20,000 digital and film images from this period. I will be updating my photos monthly so come back and see what's new.

Video
I started performing as my alter ego Jack Hoff in 2001. It didn't take long for me to feel comfortable on stage, this was something I really enjoyed doing. As Jack Hoff I have performed in over 100 shows, have traveled around the US and internationally performing at a variety of venues. Additionally, the troupe was invited to college events, where we would also do panel discussions about performance and gender. I have some video of my performances so check it out.

Mixed Media Art
I love creating art from trash, recycled goods and thrift store finds. I have created altered books. I worked on a canvas by adding something new everyday for a year. My art is my journal of my life, for the times when I could not find words to express how I felt. Art has become an outlet to create, explore and display my pain.

Writing
Words are the hardest art form for me to grasp. Words and I were not friends for a long part of my life. I found it incredibly hard to express in detail how I was feeling through writing, but I could express myself through art. One day it hit me that writing was an art form too and I just had to let go of what I thought my writing had to sound like and just write for the art of writing. When I realized that, the words just flowed like waves. - This section coming soon.
