What is your creative process/thinking?
I am inspired by colour, rust, and texture, which you will find through my photography and well as my coastal abstract art.

What and who inspires you?
Walks along the beach inspire me, the numbers that catch my eye, as well as the colours, and textures I find through the lens. Being allowed to be myself, space in which to work, and music.
