“
My art was always a form of meditation for me which I used
as a way to relieve anxiety and provided me with an outlet to express my creativity differently, it wasn’t until I was with my family on the South Coast that I really connected with it as my career.
I looked at myself, my life a little differently, my scribbles, my drawings were more meaningful.
