The Celts perceived the presence of divine forces in all aspects of nature. Patterns of harmony and balance, dark and light, winter and summer, female and male, are woven throughout Celtic tradition.

She creates intricate drawings then collages them with her nature photography, further symbolizing the connection to the natural world.
