Liam also grew up an avid sailor, swapping the ballet shoes for zinc cream and sailing gloves for an afternoon on the bay. Crafting scones and knitting are now favourite weekend activities.
“I am inspired by the world and society around me. I enjoy putting the human into the art form and bringing real stories to real people, in an effort to create change. Subsequently, reflecting on the human experience.”
