I didn't know what to expect. Of course I had seen beautiful images but didn't know what the actual reality would be or how Greece would present itself to me and my camera. I went only partially knowing and haphazardly prepared. I wanted to capture MY images.

I am a Fine Art photographer interested in storytelling, curiosity, and a lifelong desire to explore the world visually. After raising five children and living many roles—daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, widow, and partner—I discovered photography later in life. Nine years ago, my partner gave me my first camera, and in 2020 we transformed an old woodworking shop into my studio. Since then, I have dedicated myself to learning, experimenting, and creating work that reflects the stories I’ve carried for decades.
