I’m a student of life; I see beauty in nature, people and the world around me, small details and complete view. Without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist. My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I do not limit myself to one medium, style, or concept.
Inspiration and ideas change. My knowledge changes and grows. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension from the past, where I’ve come from and what I’ve learned, as well as a preview of the future, where I’m going.
I do not classify myself as just a photographer, as some might think from looking at my work. I am a sculptor, a painter, a photographer, an artist.
If a viewer stops for just a moment to view and reflect on a photograph, a photo collage or a painting I have created, then I have succeeded in my work.
They’re all lovely, but my fave is the last one. Ive been looking at it trying to decide what it is. Go on Ritva put me out of my misery… 🙂 x
the last picture is taken from outside in – at my summerhouse – there is reflections from a tree ,,. white lace curtains in the back, but I have no idea where the ghosts came from…there is supposed to be a blue arm chair there… so it is totally eerie 🙂
