Artist Statement / About
I am a black and white fine art photographer from South Africa, now living in Asia. My work is deeply rooted in presence, visual awareness, and a quiet gratitude for the world as it is. With a contemplative eye and deep reverence, I seek out fleeting, often overlooked moments that speak softly but powerful scenes that might pass unnoticed yet hold a quiet intensity.
Guided by years as an art and design lecturer, gallery coordinator and ESL educator, my creative approach is intuitive and deliberate, shaped by an appreciation for form, space, and emotion. I aim to create photographs that invite reflection, images that breathe, linger, and hold space for stillness in a noisy world.
Through this practice, photography becomes more than a medium; it becomes a way of being attentive, responsive, and fully present.
