As photographers, we treasure the seldom-observed private moment, the vision not ordinarily noticed, the profound gifts of nature. We choose to focus on the universal, what we have in common, what unites us, what makes us sensitive and responsive to the world around us, what gives us hope.

Her photographs reside in many private collections around the world and have appeared in a wide range of publications.
