I am writing and illustrating a series of Fables, chronicling the adventures of Cloud Fairy Cirrus in the Lismore area. I have decided to share a tiny bit of the story with you...see Writing The work combines various creative aspirations: writing, sculpting, photography, illustrating, book making, etc. See Writing for samples of previous short stories.

I have been awarded the Artlinks Bursary 2009, to help me to bring this project to fruition! Rather excited about that!!! to say the least...! see artlinks

"I haven’t loved a book this much in years. Beautifully designed, this is something really special and uplifting.   Dip into it during bleak moments and take away a thought, image or poem for the rest of the day". (Editors note in InterAction, magazine for M.E.)

A song close to my heart!

Today I went flying in my favorite patch of sky, I circled and I circled above the world so high, and I thought to myself, what a lovely lovely thing, to be up here with the clouds, to be flying right out loud on little wings.
