EARTHLY HEAVEN | Two Horses - Peacock - Owl - Swan - Snake - Stag - Two cats - White Horse. I love to explore the natural world in a minimal way. Beauty in a few yet complex lines.

I spent the first 30 years of my life writing and performing music. Now, I am privileged to create images as the projection designer for live music performances. You see these as images on a large screen in the background.

Circus | Circus

The magical wonder world of Circus has been with me for a while. I created these images as a nod to the circus world and all those who create such magic for the viewer, oftentimes without living the magical life we perceive.

Sign up for my newsletter where I share processes, ideas, I ask questions about what you would like to see, and share openings and special events. I would love to see your name in my inbox. Thank you for being a Part of Art.

Dreams

I am deeply inspired by our dream worlds. The worlds we only enter through an altered state. Sometimes fierce and scary, sometimes beautiful and light, they tend to linger and inform our lives in a certain way. My dream when deeply asleep was living underwater in my home, weightlessly floating amongst the fish and seaweed and breathing effortlessly. For certain, merely a dream.

Enjoy the ride

This is the OG series and how it all started. Because I love horses.

I wish to create images that show my emotions while riding a horse and being with a horse. If you can imagine seeing your likeness in such a portrait, please reach out for custom work. We can discuss the magical possibilities and endless creativity of working together. It is an easily approachable and graceful process.

I follow wherever the story of life leads me. Recently, this has been into the AI world, where I have found a new appreciation for creativity and co-creation. These images are one of a kind and can never be recreated in the same way.

Kitchen | Land

My veggie series began with my friend who is a chef and loves creating in the kitchen. I thought about what I would like to see in my kitchen to uplift my spirit when cooking (I am not big on cooking, yet I would love to be). I envisioned these images to help me laugh, so I can feel a joyful food creation stir inside me. Let’s hope it works!

Bunny | Land

When she lost her fourth and last bunny, my friend told a beautiful story of all four playing together in the clouds. I ventured to create an image for her and ended up in love with bunnies! I started to see more than just fluffy animals. Instead, I saw and experienced connection, joy, love, softness, and admiration. Of course, I had to add in some crowns!

From my heart to yours.

What the Soul wears over its new complexion
— IPA and LICC winners

‘What the soul wears over its new complexion’ is a series visually expressing everyday words. Words that have the power to change our lives quickly in a moment or gradually over time. I am intrigued by the question of how I choose to hinder or encourage my experience when feeling the depth of Shame, the power of Genius, or the fear of Death; the relaxation of Chillin’, the pains of Growth. What might all this mean for a future just seconds away or a lifetime ahead?

Effects of Horses
— Fills me up with joy

The OG Series. This is how it all started. My journey to award winning photography with alternative processes. I combine them in a story- telling image, and I hope you see them with your heart of emotion.

 
Circus | Circus
— Always intrigued

The illusion of circus. Everything feels so easy. As if floating through the air or contorting oneself is easy. As if it didn’t take a lifetime of practice and continued failure. Yet the illusion is mesmerizing.

 
Dreams
— Dreams come to life, IPA winner

When I was a little girl, I dreamt of living underwater with the fishes, sitting on my underwater sofa and eating at an underwater table. I have created the above image ‘Dreams | Underwater’ which won 2nd place at the International Photography Awards 2024. I also dreamt of flying. What was your dream?

 
Veggies
— Eat 'em

This is a celebration of vegetables. I have some of these in my kitchen. When I have to eat veggies, and it seems like an unsurmountable obstacle of massive proportion, I look at the fun faces. And I don’t mind so much any more. :-)

 
Screen Images for Pacific Jazz Orchestra
— Such a profound honor

I spent the first 30 years of my life as a violinist | fiddler | songwriter. My heart is wide open for music and the visualization of it. I am beyond honored to create large background screen images for live concerts. It’s such a thrill!

 
The Feeling of Spaces
— Oh how I love this one

What does a space feel like and what would that look like, I asked myself in this work. Thinking about hallways, living rooms with a cool breeze, bathrooms and empty spaces before someone moves in.

 


Bunny | Land
— This makes me smile

When she lost her fourth and last bunny, my friend told a beautiful story of all four playing together in the clouds. I ventured to create an image for her and ended up in love with bunnies! I started to see more than just fluffy animals. Instead, I saw and experienced connection, joy, love, softness, and admiration. Of course, I had to add crowns!
