Basket of Sand
The images are deeply personal. I was there. I experienced this. I stood by this hard working woman. This is why I cannot think of a better tool than a camera to document the experience, the inner experience, of such, often sudden moments.

Spring
One of the strongest and most alluring word pairing in my mind has to be

New Year
It is time for a deep breath after a roller coaster year. I am looking onward and staying hopeful. I dig deep into my craft and my art and I find solace there. I have met, and continue to meet inspiring, kind people. I am grateful for being in Uganda and exploring this immensely beautiful part of the world. What I experience here, I speak through my art.

November
Like bare bones, the silhouettes are now
engraved into the landscape.
There is so much bleak beauty.
There is so much bright sadness.

Forest
As a child I would spend much of my time playing and exploring in the forests.
The experience was reinforced by the many childhood books and stories
that were then re-enacted through the hours of play
and set in the natural worlds and forests of many kinds.

A Barn in the Snow
I find it soul soothing to stand in front of an old barn which carries time so gracefully.
There is faint but certain beauty despite the corrosion of years.
This beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder

Larger Prints
Though I have mostly sold my images on around the A3 size, I do like the larger images and would like to print much more larger in the future.

Notes on Beauty
My interest in beauty is personal. It is to learn to understand beauty as a deeper and a natural need that resides in a human being.

More Like a Dream
Within minutes the skies could turn from bright and sunny into a full scale darkest of storms. In between these two opposing phenomena, there was always a moment of stillness, a beautiful, eerie quietness, while the storm was silently gathering its full momentum. I took this image on 30th floor high rise balcony and had an eye level view towards the silently gathering clouds.

Childhood
Childhood, a place where days were endless. Time, a boundless chain of imagination. A moment, simply resting in eternity.

New Year
2019 was a year of quieter, richer encounters, softer hues and curious explorations.
May this year give me courage to dig a little deeper and look a little further.
And wisdom to realise that I need to
p a u s e more often in order to do so.

Path
It sharpens my senses to walk a little bit off the beaten track.
On that narrow path between the worry and the ease.
