In her series Here nor There, the artist explores the realm of imagination, creativity, and adventure inhabited most often by children, a place somewhere between adult reality and pure fantasy. Inspired by watching her young daughter at play, the pictures remind us of the wonder and enchantment all around us, which we often fail to notice during the course of our busy days.
