Jocelyn is a Seattle-based artist and photographer whose practice spans nearly two decades of work across filmmaking, advertising, education, public art, and independent projects. Her career began in the film industry before shifting into advertising and marketing, eventually evolving into a full-time creative practice that balances long-term artistic work with freelance photography.
Through iterative processes and playful experimentation, Jocelyn's artwork reaches a variety of end states whether it's a large-scale public art installation in New York City or a mixed-media series acquired for a local architectural collection in Bellevue, Washington. As a freelance photographer, Jocelyn's specialty is documentary and human interest with an affinity for capturing candid, tableau-style compositions. She contracts recurrently with local organizations like Seattle Parks Foundation and Seattle JazzED. 
Jocelyn approaches both sides of her creative practice with the same commitment to thoughtful storytelling, careful observation, and work that resonates long after the in-frame moment.
