Styles and Techniques

My style is quite eclectic but can be generally described as freestyle with lot’s of techniques.

I use all kinds of techniques - from needle felting to sewing on paper, from using paints to structure paste. I also place a lot of value on journaling, as this is the main element that describes the captured moment of a photo.
