As an artist and writer, I am fascinated by the innate ability of human beings to be creative.

I have always had two sides to my working life: It used to be painting and my work as an occupational therapist/coach, but these days, it's writing and painting.

Writing and painting both results in creative outputs (if I'm lucky) but involve very different types of creativity. I once thought they would easily share a bed, but no, they fight inside of me constantly.

My writing recently includes cosy crime fiction with an artistic twist, but I have also written books about human boredom, human creativity and our innate ability for positive, creative change.
