I was born and raised in Adelaide, Australia and started writing poetry at 12 years of age. I have since been published in a couple of anthologies. My teenage years were thrown into kaos, when I became a single mother at 15 years of age. My life has taken many turns and at 38 years of age, I can now say it has all been worth it. I am a very broad artist but love oil painting the most. Wood carving is something I have fun with, whenever I can and I love photography. Some of my work is available for view, go to my website link. Peace is within my thoughts daily and I have trouble understanding the world at times. Let positive light shine around the world and love would conquer all. I am proprietor of a small business, which has been running now for four years. My husband and I are about to celebrate our 20th anniversary and we have four great children. Some of my best poetry arose, from thoughts of my family. I hope you enjoy sharing my life and my work. ~Tassie
