Painting stories with words from the stormy chambers of my heart.

I hope to inspire others to be creative, giving and open with their hearts. A nice chain reaction as I was inspired by three brilliant poets. As a child, I fell in love with the written and spoken word when used to convey raw authentic emotion, connecting with others through our shared humanity and flaws. Bringing the worst and best of ourselves onto the table for a real feast- satisfying our need for expression, growth, transformation, desire and closure.

The Tale of Two Testaments: The Dichotomy of Self is my contribution to this array of tragic wonder; the loss of what was, contrasted with the unrealised, endless dreams of what could be.
