I am a Gemini with Scorpio rising, which means I share my ascendant with Ghandi, Thatcher and Churchhill.What these people seem to have in common is charisma and what I call "being focussed". Growing up in Japan, with a Seychellois mother who was raised in India, I was bred on tales of magic and mysticism. These stories fuelled my already overactive imagination and made it easy for me to believe the outrageous. It's the more mundane things in life I mistrust. From my father, I learnt to "dream big". He left Switzerland for India to follow a dream and found many pots of gold on his life journey. I am still following rainbows with some success. Amongst the pots of gold I have found are my two spirited children, many well-meaning people, plenty of laughs and divine colours, smells, sounds and tastes. My spirituality has a definite influence on my art and my art feeds my spirit. My dream is to run a spiritual retreat centre. Another dream is to find someone to share this with. In the meantime, I’ll be getting on with that proverbial single step on my journey of hopefully less than a thousand miles.
