As a young child I always knew the world is going to be my oyster!I discovered really early on in my life that the sky is NOT the limit and I can do anything I set my mind to!I have this desire in my heart, it feels like a flame and all I need to do is keep on fueling this flame!Photography, art and travel is what fuels my desires and along the way I've met the most amazing people!

I grew up in Namibia, and i still consider that as one of the most beautiful places.After school in South Africa I went to England to save some money.I worked for 2 years looking after spinal injured people and doing this,changed my whole life!I solely devoted myself and my time in taking care of others and that has made the difference.

My path that I have been on and carrying on has showed me how Photography has brought so much love and light to people!There's something about photography!It is a love, a passion and a tool.We create the stories and the memories,and that is powerful!

This scholarship would give me the opportunity to learn from a master, how documenting real life brings a story to the outsider looking into our work!

My love for Art, Photography and life comes from growing up in a small town. I was born and bread in Namibia, where as a young girl I had to entertain and keep myself occupied. I grew up in a world where I created my own colours, AND I didn’t have to wear shoes and my foot points were stimulated more than the average person’s (Thank you Mom and Dad) I am a believer in the simpler things in life! I am all about smiles, generosity and getting to know people and their hearts. Photography is the base of all my creations. I’m absolutely in love with all the aspects of it. I always try to create a story with a little bit of a mystery to it or just something to challenge the mind with and off course something for the imagination. Photography and traveling has been my existence for the past 5 years. I don’t want to stop, EVER! I would love to be a part of a team and be given the opportunity to share my eye. P.S I am all about the 'cheesy' as well, so this would truly be a dream come true!
