Profile
Poet and visual artist based on 60N, Shetland, Scotland, with a passion for words, the elements, sea-, skyscapes & nordic light reverberated by the ocean…
“http://nordicblackbird.redbubble.com/”
My grand mother gave me the bug for two particular things, books & photography, which I’ve nurtured from the tender age of 6.
Until I was able to get my very first SLR, she’s always ensured I’d cultivate a shared passion. From B&W to colour, her continuous encouragements enabled “artistic growth”.
Welcome to my nordic garden, i hope it will make you smile and want to dip ;-)))
...And talking of garden, please visit:
“www.myspace.com/garden2garden”
as some selected work is tightly entangled to another, situated on the other side of our Earth… Where poetry turns into sounds.

Writing
From Lerwick 2 Leith
From one nomad to another, / we share the soul of the solan, defy the I of the gannets, / as we freeze time inside your den, like a treasure hidden in now…
Merlin's Eyes
Myth, magic truth, / Elevated through dragon’s breath, / Ruler of my darkest forest – giving meaning to chaotic…
SOUNDS OF LOVE
exchange of glances in cold rain, / rainbow, sunshine, / at close quarter / or lips apart…
Phyllis
She holds her bow, / tightens fingers, stretches courage against the string – / clad in her dress of gemstone green; / her gentleness lies in her smile.
My Heart Beats Fast in The Highlands
I’ll give my soul / to Burns / tonight; / whisky will flow / down / in glasses(!) / like river Coe / through wild heather -
broken chains
One train, / one man, hope, destiny. / Physically speaking, we can not separate.*
