The Vana Project was born from a simple belief:

Art has the power to slow us down, ground us, and bring us back to what matters.

In a world that moves too quickly, we choose to move with intention - creating pieces that honour the landscapes that shape us and the stories that connect us.

Our vision is to build a space where creativity, sustainability, and community exist in harmony.

A place where artists are supported, nature is protected, and every piece of art carries meaning beyond the frame.

Art that restores, not consumes.

Meet the Founder

My love for photography began in the pages of National Geographic. As a child, I’d wait for each new issue to arrive at my grandmother’s house, knowing those glossy pages held entire worlds inside them. The colours, the stories, the stillness of a single frame, they taught me that an image could be both a window and a feeling.

I didn’t own a camera until I was twenty. A second‑hand Nikon D300 - the kind of camera whose later successors would be compared to the Nikon D7500, saved for slowly and treasured instantly. It felt like holding possibility. From that moment, photography became my way of capturing wonder - not just what I saw, but what I felt.

Years later, the lockdown came with an unexpected gift - time. I wandered through nature reserves, photographed dog walkers and their companions, and slowly built a body of work that felt honest. Quiet. Rooted.

I was reminded of who I was when the world wasn’t rushing.
