Never satisfied with compromises – I am endlessly curious about the miracles of life, love and nature. The wish to create more abundance and beauty for my self, brought me to Maui. The strong energy on this Island made me face previously unknown aspects of my personality. My life has been expanding ever since.

Photography has been part of my life for a long time. Ever since I can recall, I looked at the world as if through the lens of a camera. In 2003 I began studying painting with the artist Pat Massumoto at her gallery. I discovered that combining various media enhanced my artistic journey towards self-realization.

Powerful inspirations are all the wonderful people I am surrounded with, traveling and Maui’s beautiful beaches, rainforests  and the breathtaking volcano Haleakala.

Working with photographic collages helps me to bring different realities together. I like creating detailed art pieces of some images in order to focus on certain aspects more specifically.
