immersion in water comes from the Greek word for baptism meaning to
immerse and it signifies being buried with Christ and raised to new life
in Christ. The white robes are a symbol of purity.
Baptism symbolizes a new life in Christ. Old things have passed away and
all things have become new." (10/02/05)

and sexual violence for UNICEF. Her current local project, “Living

ARTIST STATEMENT
My work explores the moments of family life, with an emphasis on
the mysteries of death and rituals of faith. My digital images are
printed in black-and-white or color, depending on what fits with
the mood of the project.
While working on a project, I shoot images, some of which I know
belong right away. Others that I utilize as sketches, place holders
representing an idea that hasn’t yet been fully realized.
From my years working as a photojournalist doing daily assignments
for editorial publications, I strongly believe that captions are
critical in the telling of a story.
The concepts for my projects often come from those I meet in my
life: family members, neighbors, colleagues and others I meet at
work. My projects find me. My love of the documentary comes from
the entry it gives me into people’s lives. I find it both
and opportunity and a responsibility to tell their stories.
