A lifelong exploration of seeing, storytelling, embodiment, be-wilderment and belonging.
My early work emerged from questions of society, culture, power and global change. With a background in political science and international development, I worked internationally — including in Nepal — on development initiatives and communication projects exploring how systems and communities create transformation.
Later, as team leader and coach at Kaospilot University in San Francisco, I worked with the education of change-makers, bridging personal development and the capacity to act in the world.
A segue into film production and visual storytelling taught me how to see and tell stories — and my attention shifted from systems to perception itself: how the world is experienced from within, and how our seeing and storytelling in turn shape our worlds. This opened into my own artistic practice, where dance, writing and photography became ways of working directly with lived experience, sensory knowing and imagination.
Through the camera, I spent years exploring the intimate landscape of human experience — especially women's experience of visibility, embodiment and self-understanding. Lolo’s Boudoir became a space for women’s self-discovery on their own terms. Because, the work was never really about photography. It was about presence: how we come into view, first to ourselves, then to others.
Books such as Seeing Red and Embody, alongside artistic projects and the women's programs that grew from this work, all trace this same territory: the stories we inherit, the stories we create, and how those stories shape our relationship to ourselves and the world around us.
That practice has since widened. From the question how do we see ourselves, I've moved toward the larger one: how do we see, at all — the world, each other, the rupture we're living through, the stories we're still living by long after they've stopped being true.
Seeing, I've come to understand, is never only visual. It moves through perception — how we take in and make meaning of what's around us; through presence — the embodied, felt sense of being here, in a body, in time; and through relation — how we come to know ourselves through others, and the world through our contact with it.
In recent years, the inquiry has widened again — outward, into relation itself: between us, between cultures, between the body and the living Earth. Projects such as Earth Mother emerge from this field, as investigations into belonging, ecological awareness, and the imagination required to live differently within a changing world.
Nature and landscape have remained a constant throughout, not as backdrop but as intelligence, kin and discovery. From the Himalayas, across the rocky American West, and back to the softer, cultivated landscapes and watersheds of Denmark, the places I've lived and walked have become inner geographies of belonging. My longing for the wild - within and without - remains strong.
Today my practice moves fluidly between lensbased art, writing, material exploration, nature-based inquiry and creative facilitation — different instruments for the same underlying inquiry into the art of seeing and being.
