    About this ebook

    Painted Poetry is a collection of the art infused poems of Keila Womack. The Poet pours words of emotion in lines of poetry while bringing the essence of thoughts to life with a visual inspiration of her very own oil paintings. At the young age of 15, Keila found solace in releasing poetic thoughts as well as writing and singing her own lyrics. Writing, as well as painting has been a journey of healing, renewal and hope while walking round the unexpected corners of every day life. In her own words she expresses the need for art as the need for bread, "Being an artist may not pay the bills but it restores the heart, fills an absent mind and gives bread to a hungry soul."
    Collectively, her vision of art and the sensitivity of literature creates a distinctly unique relationship. "Poetry is in the heart of every human soul. Life breaks the man, his longing and release of words makes his being whole."
