Fine Art Master Photographer

Observation Patience Respect

I am a conservation fine art photographer, and through my camera is how I've learned to truly see. 
Spending time in wild and fragile places has taught me that nature doesn't reveal itself quickly - you have to slow down, wait, and listen. 
Photography, for me, is less about capturing a moment and more about forming a relationship with a place. 

Every image carries a story of quiet mornings, changing light
and the deep sense of responsibility that comes with
documenting what we stand to loose. 

Angelic Witness

I am the oldest of eight children, raised in communist-occupied Hungary.

We lived in a condominium building on the seventh floor, surrounded by gray.
 
Nature wasn't something easy to reach, so my imagination became my refuge.

My mother would hang our clothes to dry outside on our small balcony. 

Day in Paradise

 I would sit beneath the freshly washed linen, hidden in its soft shade, reading books.

One of my favorites was Anna Through the Forest. I didn't just read that book - I became her.

In my mind, I was roaming freely through forests, watching animals, absorbing the quiet of the wilderness.

That balcony, suspended above concrete, became my first doorway into nature.

The Touch

In middle school I joined a hiking club that went out every Sunday. Those hikes were my escape from the concrete jungle, and they changed everything.

My love for hiking only grew stronger, and when I first arrived in America, one of my very first questions was "Where can I go hiking?"

I felt an immediate pull toward the national parks and the vast, open landscapes - places where the horizon breathes and silence speaks.

Mabry Mill

As I discovered photography I would find myself constantly searching for new places to explore.

I was intrigued by artists whose work celebrated the grandeur of nature.

Over time, photography became more than creating beautiful images.

It became storytelling; it became conservation.

Autumn in Babcock

Thankfully, my husband shares the same love for the outdoors, and our son naturally grew  into loving it as well.

As a family, we became involved in conservation in every way we could.

My photographs evolved into visual stories - quiet moments that ask the viewer to pause, notice...
and care.

Trust

This lifelong dedication to craft and storytelling recently led me to earn my Master Photographer title, an honor that reflects years of commitment to seeing deeply and responsibly. 

When I step away from the camera I paint in watercolor as a meditative practice.

Watercolor teaches me to surrender, allowing me to trust the process: the way pigment flows, blossoms, and settles mirrors the rhythms I experience outdoors.

Unflinching

This lifelong dedication to craft and storytelling recently led me to earn my Master Photographer title, an honor that reflects years of commitment to seeing deeply and responsibly.

Floral Gravity

I also create jewelry using silver clay and polymer clay. 

Working with my hand grounds me in a different way than photography or painting does because each piece is shaped slowly and intentionally.

Crafting jewelry allows me to be in touch with something personal and wearable - small reminders of connections, nature and presence. 

Held by Light

Flowers and organic forms appear often in my paintings, not for their delicacy but for their strength, resilience, and constant motion.
My work through all these mediums is guided by the same philosophy:

* slow down
* pay attention
* honor the transforming beauty 

These are made possible when we take time to notice what's around us.
