California Dreaming
After relocating to San Francisco in May 2023 I have created a body of work that has very much been influenced by things that I have seen whilst walking around the city and during trips to other cities and countries (including Costa Rica) whilst living here. I have particularly been taken by the plants and flowers dotted around. I felt a bit like something blown in on the wind and that like these plants I was trying to take root.
