‘A dip in the sea has the power to calm the mind, invigorate the body and soothe the soul. It is also a place to connect. I am inspired by the women that share my love of the sea, their warmth and strength, their love of life, their support and their age defying beauty. I am drawn to explore these moments of connection and the ever changing morning light and mood of the sea’.
