Interview by Michael Kirchoff for Catalyst Interviews
Many thanks to Michael Kirchoff for the thought provoking interview. Michael's questions made me dig deeper into my thought process.
I used to believe in NOT analyzing my photography too much. I was afraid analyzing it would make it less intuitive. However, over time, I realize that intuition and having a good understanding of my thought process are not mutually exclusive. I have come to believe that knowing my photography and myself better will in turn help me become a better photographer and a better teacher!
Hope you enjoy the interview!

It was in nature, with its vast landscapes and quiet resilience, that she found solace. What began as an attempt to hold onto the serenity she experienced in these natural spaces soon transformed into a lifelong artistic pursuit.”
