The inspiration for my artwork is heavily due to my passion for the wellbeing of animals and how our negative impact are causing them to become extinct. Combined with this, from a very young age, I have taught myself how to sew, crochet, knit and embroider and since then, these creative practices have been a hobby of mine. The symbols within my artwork reflect my beliefs towards the environment. I believe that although our actions to date have caused animals to die, there is still hope for the future if we change our negative trajectory.
