Vanessa Barklay
Profile
Hi everyone, my name is Vanessa
and I’m Raven Madd…
Welcome to my Delirium – A Place For Me To Express Myself…
In Far North Queensland, high in the hills, very high, in fact, so high it is the highest town in Queensland, is a little community where creative spirits gather. It’s a town apart from everywhere and it’s called Ravenshoe. Away from the city, away from the noise, people create art, living surrounded by rainforest and bush. This is where I live, in this odd little town, high up in the hills, with a rainforest view. So much creative spirit creates a force that is hard to escape and eventually it needs to be let loose or it sends you ravin’ mad!
The little creative spirits live in my head, you can see them in my avatar and they direct me in everything from the title of my works to the style in which it was created…:O)
I love to create anything and everything and have a go at it too! I love photography, nature macros are my favourite, I like to paint but I really love colouring and have started to do more drawing lately too. Check out my T-shirts as well for some great gifts with original designs, fractals are my new passion and there is many different styles of work to choose from with cards galore….
