"At first people always wonder whether they are paintings or photographs.
"I try to make the atmosphere very peaceful and the textures and light as natural as possible. People tell me they feel immersed as if they can hear some notes of the music still.

"I am often asked why the piano but this instrument has been with me since I was very young and as a piano teacher is an integral part of my life today.
"None of my pictures are staged at all. Everything is how I find it.
