Photography has been my companion and my friend beginning in my late teenage years. I have always been creative, and spent many childhood hours drawing and painting. Early in my childhood traveling had an impact on me. Growing up near the airport in Zurich, Switzerland – my father’s employer – we often traveled to distant places and continents. Later I continued to travel on my own to Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Iceland, South Africa, Zimbabwe and almost every other year to Mauritius, Indian Ocean – my father’s native home.
Both of my homes, Switzerland and Mauritius, are precious to me. Born and raised in Switzerland I love the country for its natural beauty, a hiker’s paradise, a prescious jewel. Mauritius is a green diamond in the Indian Ocean, in love with its tropical climat, multicultural diversity and atmosphere, ocean and sunshine year around.
