I recently read these words from a contact, ionushui, and they spoke to me...

"Photography is for me, first of all, an instrument, like a notebook: a way of reading (understanding, interpreting" This explains perhaps why am so drawn to photographing every day things.... to remember and interpret.

I am somewhat of a frustrated artist who dabbles in many different forms of self expression without actually managing to express anything really. I work full time and play at being creative on my weekends - when I surround myself with beads and photographs, fabrics and paper, making all manner of delightful mess.

Being the sort of person who is always looking for something new, I rarely finish anything but have great fun during the process.

Photographs have been a passion since the birth of my first child. The desire to capture every moment was overwhelming, and I have continued to snap away for the past 23 years. My beautiful daughter has now caught the bug, and is often seen lurking in the garden or on the local beach, trusty camera in hand.
