Spend summers snorkeling in The Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas and travel for inspiration
Art and architecture are huge inspirations in my work. Lately I've been teaching in order to have time in the summer to visit countries like Budapest, France, Germany, Croat, Croatia And many others. I find respite and meditation snorkeling alone in the seas monitoring marine life so that I might bring this unique silence to my design and my songs and recordings. My paintings also reflect this passion.
