When we attend sport's games we find seats from what is available and from there I take photos of the play before me. Sometimes my window of sight is small and most of the time the people around me don't mind. It is fun to capture the moments of intensity in the competition from an angle that isn't often used, and the challenge of finding that moment from a small window of sight adds to the excitement of the event.

I am a Fine Art photographer interested in storytelling, curiosity, and a lifelong desire to explore the world visually. After raising five children and living many roles—daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, widow, and partner—I discovered photography later in life. Nine years ago, my partner gave me my first camera, and in 2020 we transformed an old woodworking shop into my studio. Since then, I have dedicated myself to learning, experimenting, and creating work that reflects the stories I’ve carried for decades.
