My recent art practice as an ecofeminist is based on an organic intermingled self-work that led to a recent book, Sex, Death, Transcendence. The photography advocates for a shift in values towards caring for nature and for women and allowing them to get over their inner aging blocks and to begin to unfurl. The world is incomplete with the oncoming climate changes and the culture is losing the values of clean earth, water, air as sacred. My images have an insistent power of healing art and a strong art documentary view on women.

My photography is focused on healing, community, sexual issues and self-portraiture. Projects have led to four books and my photographs have been collected by the Norton Museum; University of Texas, Austin and a self-portrait show in special collections, 2022 at Bryn Mawr College. As an art documentary photographer I have had the chance to bring images from gallery walls to media that, for example, helped change Finland's government to stop stamping passports with the HIV stigma. In my photographs of women and myself I am devoted to raising awareness through creative experiments.
