Between Worlds: a Mystical Journey
"Set in an underwater world, ethereal beauties are entangled with forests,clouds, sea creatures, and vibrant floral blooms. These whimsical and playful images tell a story of longing for a world full of beauty, wonder, and love. This world I call the in-between, or Between Worlds".
When I was just 8 years old, my mother took me to England, where we discovered whimsical flower fairy cards in a little shop in Surrey. The artist was Cicely Mary Barker, the illustrator who created the famous Flower Fairies in the shape of ethereal smiling children with butterfly wings.

Water became my gateway. I’ve always been drawn to its mystery—the way it ripples and hides, inviting questions about what lies beneath. When I first slipped my camera into its Professional Underwater Housing, I felt a thrill akin to those childhood dreams. Suddenly, I could cross that threshold. My daughters, with their grace and fearless spirits, became my muses. Together, we ventured into mountain lakes kissed by mist, Florida’s crystal springs teeming with secrets, and even the familiar depths of my swimming pool turned portal. Beneath the surface, I found my "in-between"—a world I call Between Worlds.

These images are more than photographs; they are stories woven from longing. Each frame captures a moment of wonder, a glimpse of a world where beauty reigns untamed, where love is as boundless as the water itself. Here, my childhood fairies find their echo—not bound to paper, but alive in the fluidity of this underwater dreamscape. Between Worlds is my ode to that eight-year-old girl who believed in magic, to the mother who passed it down, and to the artist who now dives deep to bring it to life.
