I am fascinated by the spirits who sparkle, by the spirits who could sparkle, by the brilliance of moments that deserve to be honoured with a toast, by the dazzle of a soul who has overcome, by the mundane of the everyday becoming the shimmer of the usual.

These are moments and people who deserve to be honoured for their rarity.

I want to celebrate the good and the bad. I am thrilled by making the ordinary, extraordinary.
