I am a photographer and visual artist.
With a Master’s degree in documentary filmmaking, my experience in visual media spans across television, advertising and photography over 20 years. My artistic practice is rooted in personal memory and experiences, and I practice diverse forms of expression with digital photography, alternative photographic processes, moving images and bookmaking. I am a member of Women Photograph, an international forum of women and non binary photographers.
I currently live between Singapore and Bangalore and available for commissions globally. I continue to facilitate workshops to teach photography, bookmaking and alternate photographic processes.
