A few words about your artistic career

I'm a writer, occasional photographer, traveller and seeker of meaning. My work has taken me around the world; through newspapers, story anthologies, festival curation, leather goods, collaborative design. I've worked with many writers / film and culture festivals. Artistic expression exists in my world through many modalities, but writing and therapeutic creativity are the most important.

How long have you been an artist?

I've been writing and creating for most of my life, but in a more professional capacity, for the last 30 years.

Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?

I want to explore in depth my intersecting interests of creativity, intuition and collective creation. Artists embody, often uncomfortably, truths, direction and boldness.

I have moved between creativity, blockages, panic and liberation through the therapeutic process. This grant will enable me to continue my research with the help of a little science.

What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?

I hope to develop and extend this experience and travel further down the path of therapeutic creativity and brain play, as a means of accessing internal and external visions for the future.
