Artist Statement   

 

It is essential to me to be creative. In any way, be it painting, photography or braiding my daughters hair. It re-connects me with a part of myself that I love. 
 

To capture beauty and precious moments, I have to tune into that place in myself and open to life's exquisiteness. It's therefore profoundly rewarding.
