They SAY the AVERAGE person can't MAKE a LIVING in art... but if you tell me there's something I can't do, that's what I have to do.

The average person that lives in Sydney, if they want to BUY a HOUSE in Sydney, that shouldn't be out of REACH for them.

People are intimidated when they first meet me, but it doesn't TAKE them long to REALISE I'm just an AVERAGE person.

I'm SIMPLE in my APPROACH and STRAIGHTFORWARD. I connect with the average person that is INTERESTED in food.
