A new body of work exploring the vast world of cryptogamic covers using photography as a drawing tool to capture intricate textures. Eschewing the traditional rectilinear frame for one that the subject instead evokes, she has printed her images direct to metal substrates, in some cases folding them, to share her wonder of these organisms.

In November 2025, at the invitation of Konstepidemin in Gotenburg, Sweden, I will be an artist in residence for the month. The buildings at Konstepidemin were originally used as Gothenburg’s Epidemical Hospital from 1886 until 1970. Konstepidemin is now used as an artist run art center, a central meeting place as well as a cultural platform, offering an extensive public program of visual and performing art events, exhibitions, seminars, workshops and more.
In September 2024, I will be attending an artist residency in the remote village of Tjørnuvík in the Faroe Islands, hosted by Listafólkasamband (LISA), the council of Faroese Artists and Sunda Municipality.
