iv. The greatest challenges around doing this work are:
At this stage, I have none. Earlier on I had much self doubt. I was beginning at 50 and had not gone to art school. Fortunately I was still working with a reiki master who helped me through the transition.
v. Creative childhood hobbies:
Playing for hours outdoors and cooking.
vi. Other creators who inspire you:
Architects, interior designers, furniture and lighting designers – really all designers and makers of things…
