As a little girl I was often found trawling through my grandfathers photographs, his pictures made my heart soar and would find me lost inside all that he recorded.  My time then was spent on the other side of the camera, caught in a world only his eyes could see… for many years I followed various career paths yet longed to be an artist, constantly haunted by images flowing through my mind with no way of releasing them; never in my wildest dreams did I think photography would be my tool. 

My brother bought a second hand slr, lending it me for “ONE DAY” only… I took my children to the park… and that’s when the world came alive before me, I felt my whole self fall into the camera… he never got that camera back…

From word of mouth I began to be asked to take photographs of other people’s children, yet still I was not fulfilled… I was taking images with my eyes connecting with their heart… yet ignoring my own.

With the pursual of my associateship I threw myself into learning new techniques, enabling me to begin to find in my camera a little of what lived in my mind, still however holding myself back …

Some time later, I found my light… both in myself and in a quadra kit… blending this with natural light I was finally able to produce exactly what I saw inside; and with this I found passion and imagination far greater than even I had ever allowed myself to see  and finally set myself free and began to become and create pictures of the fairytale’s and fantasy lands that have lived inside my mind.

Fear of failure; fear of not being understood; and fear of our own capabilities is often what holds us back from achieving our true potential, I can not teach people how to think or feel or shoot… I simply want to show a different door… one that can be opened and what lies beneath it embraced… the door to within your mind…
