On HEY GIRL world

Creator, motorcycle rider and enthusiast.

My name is Lianne, but I work under my brand ‘Here we ride’.
I am a female creator, motorcycle rider and enthusiast. my work promoted female empowerment and female voice, and this most commonly manifests itself within the world of motorcycling. I love riding and have been doing so since I was 19 years old. It’s something that has made me feel strong and brave, which is something I have always found challenging as a female. I have found that within the motorcycle community often women’s voices are not listened to or not heard.

We are misrepresented and I aim to address that. I want to engage women to promote strength, courage, to be unconventional and to defy expectations. I have always focused on my own voice within my artwork, interested in the reasons why women compete and the negative impact this has on us. Focusing on bringing women together, creating connection and community is so important as both an artist and a female.

SUPERNOVA PLAYROOM – My Supernova Playroom portraits are a projection of my inner voice. What may seem abstract to the viewer is to me a language rooted in symbolism and allegory. I am photographing my dreams. I use a medium format lenses from 1930’s and 40’s to create portraits in which a body becomes the painted canvas. The results are electrifying.

"I am photographing my dreams."

“I was swimming in dangerous but beautiful waters. A fish passed by, I’ve never seen a fish like that before. It could swallow my whole body if only it opened its mouth full of teeth. I looked ahead of me, I saw mountains on the horizon, and the colors and their reflection in the water were breathtaking. I wanted to take a picture when you called.”
