About me

I am a photographer and visual artist based on Long Island, New York. My work is shaped by a deeply personal journey across cultures, identities, and stages of life. Born and raised in Hungary, I have been living in the United States since 2000.

The defining influences of my life path have been the search for cultural connections, a deep awareness of the shared apects of our human experience, and my many years spent as a full-time mother. They all influence how I create, what I notice, and what I consider to be important in life.

Motherhood helped me develop an appreciation for slow connections, the importance of a continued, grounded, meaningful presence, and for the various roles we, women, fulfill. Being a mother taught me to balance love with intellect, and to create structure without rigidity. It also taught me the importance of finding inspiration during the routine events of everyday life.

My curiosity about the world and the personal faith that to form deep personal connections I need to cross cultural and physical borders inspired me to learn five languages. Using that knowledge, I created and carried out independent photography projects in Haiti, Cuba and the United States. A significant part of my work explores themes of identity, memory, and the importance of seeing time as a continuum where past and present constantly meet.

My photography has been internationally recognized and awarded - see below. My photographs have been exhibited in Vermont (USA), Barcelona (Spain), Long Island (NY) and New York City (USA).

I have a law degree from my native Hungary and an MA in Africana Studies from SUNY Stony Brook (USA). I stepped into professional photography as a documentary photographser in 2020.
