I was born in Scotland, a year after my birth my parents packed up my siblings and I and immigrated to South Africa.

I loved living in South Africa, to me it was always home. We did move back to the UK for a few years, but we returned to South Africa once more.

I currently live in North Carolina, enjoying the less harsh winters than further north. I’m enjoying the greatest adventure of my life, pursuing my love of creativity and art.

I am an artist. I have been my whole life. I truly delved back into it in 2012. I had lost my way. I didn't have faith in myself and my abilities as an artist, I had heard too many times that I wasn't talented and I let that really sink in. I should never have done that. I returned to my first love in life and I’ll never be without it again. I feel grounded whenever I’m able to step into that world by picking up a paintbrush, pen, pencil, etc. 
Last year I watched a video that was current on the web at the time. Neil Gaiman gave a truly inspirational commencement speech to young artists. It truly stuck with me for months after I watched it. I had notes at home, at work, in the car. The notes said nothing more other than… “Make Good Art” the basis to Neil Gaiman’s speech. Those notes later became a piece of art, which is displayed in my home where I can see it everyday. It's my daily reminder to do what I love. 

If you do nothing else but find what truly makes you happy, you will have accomplished greatness. 

Share that greatness with those you love and those that you have yet to meet. Be their inspiration.
