In 2017 and 2022 she has followed a mentor program with Elisabeth Nordeng Aanes and developed personal photo projects; "The mother's path to the truth", and "Architecture`s mystery and soul", which was exhibited at the Cyan gallery in february 2018 and 2023.

Through her photographs, she wants to communicate the vulnerability of life. Reflections on why we are born, live and die. Life's contrast between light and darkness and spirit and matter, where the matter is a method of giving warmth, light and love. These are contrasts she has come close to through her profession as a nurse.
