In Search of the Wise Ones
This body of work searches for the common ground that runs beneath all faith – the love, the longing, the joy and the luminous thread that connects us all to the Divine.
“Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?” TS Elliot
Never Complain, Never Explain
I was raised with the same attitude as the Victorian upper classes – that stoic code of public conduct that taught women, and sometimes men, to move through the world a certain way. Suffer quietly. Ask for nothing. Show nothing. Keep going.
Bridging the Disconnect
In our modern era of technology and digital connection, true human communication and
meaningful interaction have often become elusive. As Bob Moorehead so aptly observed: “The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less. We buy more, but enjoy less…..we build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication;”
Unapologetically Unashamed
The excessive pressure to conform to narrow beauty standards affects the female psyche more profoundly than we often acknowledge. From childhood, many women are conditioned to conceal their bodies and internalise shame. We were taught that sexual desirability exists only within the confines of youth and an idealised figure.
Divine Luminosity
Divine luminosity, the essence of light, is how I experience and connect with the Divine.
While my roots are in Anglicanism, my fascination with various religions has led me to
uncover a universal wisdom that transcends specific belief systems.
