In 1970 she bought her first camera, with which she photographed the performances of her husband, visual artist Axel van de Kraan. In the years that followed, photography grew into her medium. She prefers to work in black and white. She also experiments with different photographic techniques, such as gum printing and printing photos on canvas. She produced analogue photographs and made her own prints.
