Deus aderit Painting

Born in central Africa, I now live on Australia's east coast. At ten years old I left home have been traveling all my life – always trying to find a home, getting one ... but then moving on. I have been into countries on every continent except South America, sometimes settling for months, even years. My passion for the natural world has travelled with me through the years: animals, plants, the interrelationship of everything to everything else. Over all, I am interested in everything, at least fleetingly. Read prolifically, write and paint habitually. Although I am estranged from my family, I have loved passionately and been loved in return, sustaining childhood friendships and still making close new connections. I have endured a post-grad education, and still considers herself an autodidact. This blog is my thought-summary in long and short form, poetry, prose, polemic and painting. It is a red flag to the idea of ‘doing as you please’. If it works well, I hope this blog will give mind-candy to other women who do as they please, or would like to – and to the men who love or like them.
