My work reflects the richness of my heritage and life experience. Born to an Orthodox mother and Catholic father, I spent my early years in Trzic in Slovenia, a little picturesque country in southern Central Europe. Now I live with my husband in the United States in Florida.
I took several online photography courses at Betterphoto.com, but am mostly self-taught, and always in process of learning. I also write (haiku)poetry; create haiga, greeting cards and digital art, and I dabble in drawing.
My love and appreciation of photography and art began long time ago, but my great need to express myself and my vision manifested at the end of 2006 through the art of photography,and through poetry writing. I have always enjoyed being the observer, just watching people and my surroundings, and learning.
I love taking photos from different and unusual angles, especially of the old buildings and random people on the street. I experiment in all aspects of photography, but my special interests are black and white/sepia, street/candid photography, photojournalistic, abstract and fine art photography.
Being deeply influenced by the Japanese philosophy that embraces simplicity, and the Chinese philosophy that emphasizes the importance of a family, I strive not to forget who I am and where I come from.
Artist’s statement:
My photography is all about finding order in a chaotic world.
Painting with light is my key to the secret garden which I explore over and over.
