Visual art

We’ve established the fact that I love writing, and what also might become evident is that I love collaborating with other creative peeps as this gives me the opportunity to explore mediums that I otherwise wouldn’t try.

I’m very lucky to be married to a wonderfully talented artist, and we’ve put a couple of poems to paintings or painting to poems. By that I mean, Billy might paint something and then I write a response to it (a poem). Or, I write a poem, and then Billy responds (in the form of a painting). In the Tree of Life example, Billy has painted the entire poem onto the background.

Here are a few examples:
