    Qualification: Inspire-Uplift, heal through nature and creativity

    Summary: My vision is – Inspire-Raise, heal through nature and creativity.
    I'm an artist. I have always been an artist since the day I was born, although I have not always known it. It wasn't until I left school, when I was free from the limits and constraints of the educational system, that I discovered the artist in me. My art is an extension of me. It extends to all areas of my life. I have a passion for life, love and care for the earth. Everything I create has a reason - sometimes that reason is just to honor the creativity within me.
