Originally from Birmingham, the UK's second-largest city, I never quite felt at home there. I've always had a deep yearning for nature and the outdoors—a call that eventually led me north.

Creativity and handwork have always been part of who I am. But after a long period of rage and self-destructive behavior, I reached my lowest point. I was broken. The only way left was up.

In that darkness, I cried out to God—the same God I had turned my back on years before. From that moment, my journey of recovery began. One day at a time.

My art is a vital part of my healing process. It's a passion, a gift, and a blessing from God.
