Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, I am moving towards the longest night of the year, and I'm feeling the need to go quiet and hunker down with my own muses. Warm tea, a blank journal and solitude is what is being called for. Right now, I'm sitting in front of a fire under a fury blanket with a snow day expected later in the week. Yet I know that come Solstice, even though its only the beginning of winter here, we will begin to move back towards the light delicately but ever so noticeably. And so the two hemispheres hold each other in eternal balance and we get to savour the visiting seasons with their unique gifts.

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
― John Steinbeck

I’m a visual poet working in just about any medium I can lay my hands on although I am a professionally trained photographer and a so called “self-taught” artist (of course there have been many teachers on that path). I’m in love with the creative process. I’m a beauty unveiler, light huntress, moment caresser and visionary poetess. Ultimately, all of my work is about helping people peel back the layers to experience the intense beauty of each moment allowing access to both their intuitive wisdom and a deeper connection to spirit and self. (Because the beauty of this life cracks our hearts open and it is through the cracks that light can flow both in and out and connect us back to our divine selves) That is what I do and I do it through photography, art, journaling and teaching. I live in the insanely beautiful Blue Mountains, just shy of Sydney, with my family, our cat and all the winged ones who frequent our garden. Each day here is a wondrous delight of tiny miracles through either the glorious light or magical mists. I would love to work with you, have a look around and see where you are called... "Where I create, there I am true." Rilke
