Rebekah Day was raised in a caravan travelling extensively between the Sunburnt Country and the ancient land of the Picts half a world away, with an enthusiasm that has never truly died. She now studies Journalism in the beautiful city of Sydney, and is inspired by the beauty in the mundane, the elegance in the industrial, the mystery of what is hidden in plain sight.
