A simple connection between mother and child
I have been a creative portrait photographer for nine years. While studying at the Victorian College of the Arts in the 1970’s as a ballet dancer, I was encouraged to discover many different areas of the Arts as I could. I developed a passion for photography in my early teens and having studied Art, Theatre, film and a little in the TV industry, photography was a new canvas, a passion that has grown now in my later years. Drawing on a life time of artistic mediums greatly influences the pieces I create. The use of props and costumes plays a huge part in giving a theatrical look to my images.
