HeartsArts! is a one-woman business that champions all things creative. I've made and done creative things throughout my life; for financial gain, for myself, for family, for friends, for schools and community groups.
I've been a portrait photographer, a live illustration performer, a community artist, a singer, a songwriter, a performer (musical and spoken word), a community poet and poetry project facilitator, a music teacher, a samba band leader, a painter. I've written, edited, illustrated and self-published community poetry books.
The love of my creative life is patterns...patterns in words, patterns in art, patterns in music, patterns in life. My latest adventure is with OH! Original Hyperbolic, which patterns photographs. There is something satisfying about the repetitive nature of patterns and something exciting when a pattern is unexpected or takes an unexpected direction. This is what I feel when I make a hyperbolic image.
HeartsArts! brings together many of the skills I've honed along the way, offering a space where I can share my creative products and promote my educational arts services.
If you'd like to buy any of my products or employ me to run a poetry or arts project for you, please email me.
