Two magnificent mountains inspired my passion for nature in all of its forms, Magoebaskloof in South Africa, and the Serra de Sintra in Portugal where I was born in December 1996. Having lived in this environment all my life, from even before I can remember, I am told that besides taking in everything that nature had to offer, I also kept myself busy by scribbling and sketching, drawing and painting, building things to play with, listening to music and hearing stories. This I believe, together with having been surrounded by artists of all kinds whilst growing up, was my education in the arts.
