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.

Mitä ihanaa ja pehmeää siellä onkaan muodostumassa! Hyvä marraskuun touhu! Taidan ottaa mallia 😉
Joo, jotain pitää keksiä ettei koko ajan ole koneella. Tällä kertaa teen säärystimiä 🙂
This is beautiful, Ritva! You are so creative.
Thanks Lois, Idle hands need something to do
Love these images, Ritva, especially the top one. Adrian 🙂
Thanks Adrian, usually the first one is my favorite too 🙂
