My passion for the Caribbean has a history; originally I moved to the Caribbean to work in Anguilla as an interior architect on a hospitality project. I must be a glutton for sufferation; the lack of water, money, greenery, diversity and companionship in Anguilla drove me to spiritual heights. The inspirations I derive from the Caribbean experience I have not captured anywhere else on the planet although I have tried and I am a well-seasoned traveler (Australia, Indonesia, Hawaii, Europe, Mexico). So annually I make my spiritual sojourn to the islands of the Arawak Indians, where I capture the inherent beauty of existential struggle in all things, living and non-living. My work is innately feminine for obvious reasons; I am a woman. When I capture flowers, intuitively I focus on the sensuality in their reproductive components and interactions with things such as insects & architecture. My architectural background is the explanation for my fascination with deteriorating structures. The beauty I see in eroding paint and termite infested wood is symbolic of the enlightenment I find in the Caribbean struggle. My education is self-taught and includes many years of experience exploring my cameras. I predominantly shoot with a Canon SX10 IS, I also use a manual Canon EOS Elan II and a Canon 40D.
