NATURE WRITING | PROJECT INNOVATION | DISPLAYS & EXHIBITS
Come forth into the light of things,
let nature be your teacher.
WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
Thank you for visiting my website, where I share my work offerings and experience, as well as my love of nature, poetry, and the hope that, through deepening our awareness and appreciation of the natural world, we can bring beauty, peacefulness, and simplicity into our lives.
Over the years, I have been inspired and motivated by a few words that I keep with me and which I read long ago, by Vietnamese monk Thích Nhất Hạnh, that said, 'If we want peace, we need to be peace; peace is a practice, not a hope.' And through my writing, I explore the concept of living a peaceful life in harmony with the wider living world and then deeper thoughts of how peace comes from within and from the small decisions we make each day to consciously honour that desire for peace.
Among my offerings, I curate awareness displays and projects focusing on conceptual artworks within a broader environmental narrative. Together with my husband, we have worked within marine and wilderness conservation, sharing stories that weave soulful imagery with poetry and storytelling. I have recently released my first fiction story, As the Wild Geese Fly, inspired by poetry, nature, and the beautiful English countryside. Please be in touch if you would like to chat about working together.

Even if the hopes you started out with are dashed, hope has to be maintained.

Reimagining
a new way of being
I truly believe that living as simple a life as possible and being mindful of our material impacts adds a significant depth to one’s life that resonates with the knowledge that we are both caring and cognisant of the wider living world around us. In a world where we can be anything, let's be kind...
