Exodus 2020-2021

This series is based on my emotional response during the pandemic and speaks to new beginnings, migration from urban to rural settings, regeneration and hope. I used black and white to convey light and coming out of darkness. The blue hues represent hope; pink for love and kindness and the warm tones for the sunshine/sunrise for new beginnings.

Journeys in Japan 2019-2020

Before embarking on a tour of Japan, I unexpectedly lost two family members to cancer. My trip to Japan was planned as an anniversary celebration but it became a journey of healing. After visiting historical and religious sites, I returned home with a renewed sense of inner peace and this became my motivating force to produce for this series. Click HERE to view series.
