I spend the seasons
In rainy, sunny Melbourne

I find comfort in art
Where all things are malleable
And we can be free
I hope you enjoy
Dancing with me

I suffer from a poorly understood, neurological chronic pain condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), aka Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). Rellacafa is a bloggy look at life with CRPS and my creative adventures…

My Imaginaiads are imagination nymphs. They use their colours to inspire people to create beauty. You can meet my Imaginaiad, Rella, here

I see Imaginaiads for everyone, they are all unique. I have been drawing and painting since late 2007 and I’m learning new things all the time. These are the first Imaginaiads, but they are a force I have long seen and only just gained the ability to capture…Drawing has taught me never to assume I can’t, cause maybe, just maybe, I can…

Writing

One Breath After The Other

It’s like a constant waiting game / With each and every day the same

Waving a White Flag at Reality

There is no use denying / Bad happens to good people too / There is no use in crying / That bad shouldn’t happen to you

Imagine Living With RSD....

The morning comes and you open your eyes, the light filters softly in around the curtains. You slowly stretch out your body over an excess of pillows and your nerves fire…

Noticed

It’s the way you look at me / And actually listen

Survival

The warm wind blows / As though it knows / The way I long for / Rain

The Real Things

It’s these things / We feel / That make us / Real / So don’t / be afraid / To let me know
