CURRENT MISSION

'A screaming comes across the sky'

ABOUT ME

I am an artist, in many senses of the word; but predominantly a poet and a printmaker/mixed media artist. I am learning and reading, I am travelling and experiencing. I know there is a lot to take and give to the world; and I want to be a part of that transaction.

PHILOSOPHY

I want you to think of the concept of a house
how it comforts and protects.
This place does not know our names
so do not call it home
you can call it a place for the curious,
a land for the swift footed
for dreamers who sleep to prayers
