Colla captures the heart and soul of Namaqualand like no other. Every facet of its magnificent beauty are arrested in her images:  its people, its flora and fauna as well as its scenic beauty. 

This is her land and, through her unique gift, all those who  pass her way share the magic of the stone, sand, sea and sky of the West Coast, the carpets of flowers that bloom so generously each spring and the glorious sunsets and cloud-filled skies. 

Colla's work is  an inspiration; time spent with her is a rare experience, not only of photography, but also of story-telling, of creativity, of humour,  and of love.
