I am dyslexic and struggled at school, leaving education with very poor literacy skills. Being naturally tenacious and passionate I self taught myself, exploring classical literature and the arts. I am a proud parent of four beautiful and talented children. My 40s have brought to me a wealth of understanding and access to portals of exciting artistry.
I have always yearned to write or create different realities in which I could immerse myself into. As a child I would draw images and characters to interact with the natural world as I lost myself in imagination in the fields and woods that surrounded me. The Brontes, George Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wild ,Sylvia Plath, Pablo Neruda Shelly and Byron have been great inspirations to me.
I write because I must, often using painting as extension pieces to my peotry to further explore the words textures and colours.view less
