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.

“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, the joy of Remembering or the freedom of Forgiveness. 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.

“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?

“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.

“Earthly Heaven | B&W Animals”

— Their beauty stuns me

Simple lines for complex beings. Animals bring us comfort and fear, a chill or a warm heartfelt sigh. These are intensive images of the mythical questioning of their thoughts, instincts, and purpose.

“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!

“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.

“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. :-)
