La Latina

In 1997 she made the transition from executive producer in film to fine art photographer. Since then she has been exploring abstraction, producing work that is more about texture, colour and composition and less about representational subject matter.

In her LIGHT IMITATING ART series, she explores altered light sources and double exposure, creating images that appear more like charcoal sketches than photographs. She is drawn to surrealism, images borne out of dreams and the creative subconscious. In this exciting experimentation with light, a figure or reference to a slightly definable object may emerge. She is often asked: what is she looking at The answer is simply, light.

Her series of SURFACES has emerged through discovery of art in found objects. Splashes of paint, graffiti or poster remnants create opportunities for compositions, which exist for only a brief moment in time before being painted over or scraped away. She has explored ancient walls in Europe and local industrial sites in search of weathered stone or wood, rusted metal and distressed paint, while finding a fascination in documenting man-made materials’ never-ending attempt to return to nature. She employs closely cropped images to remove any contextual reference, with the objective of creating a painterly, abstract image.
