Trained as a psychologist the need to communicate with words was essential. The written word was king and an ability to communicate verbally a must. But sometimes the right words could be difficult to find. Often frustrated and unable to find the right language I began exploring how images could communicate complex ideas when words were too clunky or inadequate. Through the use of digital photography and advanced editing techniques I now create award winning contemporary art that is recognisably photography, remains believable, yet cannot be real. These techniques share stories, depict emotions, and express something deep within that cannot always be put into words.
