About me:
I was born in California in 1962 and
moved to Norway at the age of 7.
I now live in Oslo with my husband and daughter ,
working as television production manager for
Norway's national broadcasting company 'NRK'.
My passion for photography started at an early age
and I often find myself focusing on the kind of things that tend to go unseen, offering my viewers a different way of looking at and appreciating our surroundings. Capturing moods and details from daily life. Never preimagined. Everything you see is what I see in the camera .
I officially entered the world of photography in 1996 with my debut exhibition 'Tomrom' at Café Olsen in Oslo.
I have studied under master photographers Morten Krogvold, Michael Ackerman, Arno Rafael Minkinnen and Joyce Tenneson.
Galleri Ramfjord (www.galleriramfjord.no) currently has some of my work on commission.
They nominated my photo 'Outside' (portofolio one ) as one of the eight best among 35 competing artists and I got selected as one of 30 among 400 for their juried exhibition august 2011.
All my work is for sale.
Printed on plexi, aluminum or paper.
