Brass Rabbit is a US based, data artist and documentary photographer living and working in Trenton, New Jersey.

Brass Rabbit got her start as a creator in documentary photography capturing the home lives of gang members and other individuals from illicit economies along the United States east coast. Her work focuses on societal expectations and economic inequality by combining photography and data collection. She uses a creative pseudonym to safely connect with the populations that drive much of her work and practice.

Brass Rabbit’s works are held in several private collections and have been shown in regional and international galleries and museums. As a former member of the 501C3 arts nonprofit SAGE Coalition and OMN7 Arts Collective, she has also orchestrated and managed arts exhibitions and large-scale installations in the city of Trenton and beyond.

In 2019 Brass Rabbit started Brass Rabbit LLC, a Trenton based arts consulting group focused to support artists, non-profit groups and small businesses. Owned and operated by the artist herself, Brass Rabbit LLC is dedicated to offer a wide array of arts consulting services, ranging from digital content editing and, to exhibit coordination and arts engagement workshops. 

Artist Statement

"Combining photography, data collection, and a variety of digital mediums, my work bends between playful imagery and hard truth. I am endlessly fascinated by money and it’s interwoven role in social organization. I create to answer my own questions on the social and political attitudes of my fellow Americans, attempting to find common ground beneath the many layers that separate my experience from my country and my people. And attempting to unearth differing perspectives some may have never found in their daily lives."
