I am greatly fascinated by history, art and differences in culture. I spent most of my spare time buried in books on a diverse range of subjects, ranging from neuroscience and spirituality to history and fiction.

From an early age I have had an immense interest in visual expression. My photographic practice is engrained in everything I do.

I find the cultivation of presence very meaningful. I enjoy sharing worldviews and spiritual insights.
