As an artist, words are seen as images, colour and shapes, so to write a book of poetry is a natural progression of inner communications. The rhythms from imagination feel the nuances and transpose them into images. Sometimes art work is a reaction to environment, and then a painting becomes a poem. Everyone has tempos in their soul, the resulting creation or thoughts are merely an echo or personal response to this which starts as a small 'bud' and grows into full bloom. In Rhythm & Echo Bud to Bloom many poems and illustrations are created to combine meandering thoughts with buds, blooms and a few favourite things. A rich collection of illustrations and poetry are combined to create a visual experience.
