Now here’s a minefield.
Choice is meant to be a good thing … isn’t it? I’m not that sure actually. Sometimes I stand in front of a display of yoghurts, for instance, and feel completely overwhelmed and wish that there were only six choices … to include the crushed gingernut dipper … obviously.

I try to elevate artistic and cultural appreciation in the area of the Cliff Top Residence.
I spend hours making a statement that would reflect the number of our house as well as the area we live in. My heart and soul goes into this.
