I grew up in a city but I spent my entire childhood trekking in the woods with my father hunting. While my father was on a mission to put meat on the table, I was daydreaming and making up stories about the birds and animals. We crossed streams and so much beauty surrounded us. I collected those wonderful images in my young mind and, now, here they are in watercolours. My time with my dad left me with fond memories and whenever I walk in my studio, I go back in time.
