Growing up like an only child at times I listened to a lot of different music to keep me busy. I learnt to sing the songs word for word to myself. From a very young age listening to music inspired me to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions through writing. For me creating visual art and writing has been a natural creative partnership I have relied on at various point in time to help me navigate life challenges and record note significant experiences.
