Author Information

"The magic inherent in making art has played a central role in recovery for Valerie. Eight years on from a career-ending brain and spinal cord injury, Valerie now uses ""was"" for teacher and ""is"" for artist. Working in watercolour and pastel and writing poetry inspired by that art has helped her in the slow process of reframing the unhelpful and allowing space for new ways of being to emerge. Beyond the poetry and paintings, she offers this collection as inspiration to anyone who hopes for a way forward when life throws you a curve.
