I am a photographic artist with a dedication to eternalizing tiny fragments of time, colour, light and shadow, aiming to transform them into timeless pieces that serve to offer solace, inspiration, rejuvenation and a moment of reflection in our fast-paced world.

Photography is therapeutic for me and this is evident in the finished artwork produced capturing a combination of my response to the landscape and my emotional state at the moment when I create the artwork.
