She believes that through these interconnections and mysteries we may help find a way to protect the natural world and the planet we live on. She tries to evoke an environment of something greater than ourselves – a sense of sublime, of something far more deeply interfused. She wishes to take the viewer beyond the material world (as seen as a resource) to see value beyond the material sense. She currently lives in Oxfordshire.
