As a domestic violence survivor, Mother Nature is my healing place. Going into the wilderness is my medicine. And capturing and sharing that beauty with YOU is my Passion.

I’ve been painting since childhood. In 2001 I came to the USA to start my life from scratch. Somehow in the chaos of life, painting took a backseat. In 2006 I grabbed my first camera in life, Nikon D70s and started learning photography on my own. It wasn’t until 2010 that I seriously delved into landscape and nature photography. Nature serves as my sanctuary for healing and inspiration. My experiences from life events, emotions and feelings are elements I try to bring in my photography. 

I’m a broken body person, I go thru pain every day, and I’m on pain management. But as it is said “Pain and Sorrow are inputs for the creations to release them in beautiful manner”, I do the same. I’m not a perfect as Mother Nature is not perfect. But her imperfections is my inspiration and feeds my soul with joy and happiness.
