I am painter who uses oil on canvas and pastel drawings . I like colour, and imaginative compositions to reflect the unconscious impulses, and I explore culture.
I am informed by art history, religion and, philosophy, I use sketches, photos; - photos of my own and from research a sense of emotional intelligence is important and connection to lived experience.
I write poetry and songs, a book of poems is available from Lulu publishing called "The Free Warmth of Summer". I will happily send a free copy to anyone who is interested. I am a songwriter, some of my songs are available to listen to as MP3's on my https://www.orphan-annie.com where I publish my broader range of creativity if you wish to explore.
