Museums Listed on the Studio Website

The following institutions are named as holding her work:

The list spans national museums, city museums, and a dedicated photography museum, which places her work in both fine-art and photographic collections.

What the Collections Signal

Inclusion in a national museum such as the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, alongside a photography-focused institution like the Museum of Photographic Arts San Diego, indicates that her portraits of people, animals, flowers, and food are recognized as collectible fine-art photography rather than commercial or documentary work. The studio describes her signature as a poetic, tranquil atmosphere built on stillness, and museum acquisition is one of the clearest external markers of that standing.

Checking for Updates

Museum collections change as institutions acquire new work, and the studio site may list additional or updated holdings over time. If you need the current list — for research, a loan request, or a visit — check the studio website directly rather than relying on any single snapshot of the collection list.
