A lifelong exploration of seeing, storytelling, embodiment 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 — with 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 way 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 shapes our worlds. This opened a move 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 began exploring the intimate landscape of human experience and perception — especially women’s experiences of visibility, embodiment and self-understanding. The camera became a space of encounter: not only a way of making images, but a way of working with presence, attention, and how we come into view — to ourselves and to others.
The work expanded into books, artistic projects and tranformative programs, all exploring the same territory: the stories we inherit, the stories we create, and the ways those stories shape our relationship with ourselves and the world around us.
In recent years, this inquiry has widened into relation itself — between us, between cultures, and between the body and the living Earth. Projects such as Earth Mother emerge from this field as investigations into belonging, feminine and ecological awareness, and the imagination required to live differently within a changing world.
Nature — the living world — has remained a constant presence throughout my existence and work, not as backdrop but as intelligence and kin. From the Himalayas over the rocky American West, and back to the softer, cultivated landscapes and watersheds of Denmark, the places I live and walk become inner geographies of belonging.
Today, my practice moves between art, writing, creative facilitation, and explorative dialogue. Not as separate disciplines, but ways of working with the same underlying inquiry:
How do we learn to see — and what becomes possible when we do?
