People fascinate me. I have always been curious about them - how they live, work, experience life, and relate to the world. For many years I was a psychotherapist, using words to help people deal with their emotions, relationships, and traumas.

Since retiring, my focus changed from the verbal to the visual. These days I work with images instead of words. I am drawn to photographing people who use actions and movement to express themselves - who use their bodies to communicate and tell their story. The camera then enables me to translate their narrative into an accessible and universal language.

Taking and sharing photographs connects me in a very tangible way with the people and world around me. I find the process deeply satisfying and endlessly rewarding.
