Every creative journey begins with inspiration. For a long time, I didn’t see myself as a creative. I spent 10 years supporting my partner in her art gallery, often attending openings and engaging with her clients. Many would ask if I was an artist, and my answer was always, “No.” It was her unwavering encouragement that gave me the confidence to submit my work to my first photography show—and to my surprise, I was accepted. Since then, I’ve continued to refine my craft, drawing on Ruth’s invaluable experience as an art educator. Her honest feedback has been instrumental in shaping my growth as an artist, transforming what was once unimaginable into a deeply rewarding pursuit.
