NATURE

Nature is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. I’m always finding interesting twigs and rocks to bring home and add to my collection. I like to observe the environment around me and take in the sights, sounds, smells and details.

NOSTALGIA

The memory of what I loved in childhood is another thing that brings me endless inspiration. From my favorite cupcake dress to the tv shows and school supplies there is a comfort and joy that is evoked for the things from the past.
