Life being what it is, over the years I’ve had several incarnations. But my great passion for the Arts has remained constant.
For some years I worked as a literary translator – translating novels, drama, poetry and art history from French to English. However the nearer I got to turning 60, the stronger and more urgent my need to explore and develop my own creativity.
|
|
|
|
In 2002 I started to look after one of my granddaughters. It was a turning point, an opportunity to reflect on what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Together we went for walks in Nunhead cemetery, a beautiful spot in southeast London.
We searched for statues of angels and found them in the strangest of places and in various stages of disintegration. Out of our visits grew my first collection of interrelated images and poems.
|
I haven’t looked back and now regularly exhibit my photographic work, read in public and see a growing number of my poems and short stories published. I have also further developed my work and combined my two passions to create artists’ books and video installations. I am now experimenting to produce my first poetry films.
Age is not a barrier but an excuse.
