For several years, she was professionally involved in interior design. Looking for new ways of creative expression, in 2013 she discovered photography as an ideal medium for expressing emotions and moments in life. Particularly she is fascinated by colour. In 2009 she set up her own garden, which provides her with inspiration and plants for photographic still life compositions.
