When friend and singer-songwriter Foy Vance commissioned me to paint him a swan I didn't realise it would end up being the cover for one of his albums. Check out "The Wild Swan" by clicking the link above.
Living with a poet for the past 20 years there was always going to be the possibility that our work would converge. 'A Melody of Sorts' is a painting of a raven which features on the front cover of a poetry collection by my husband Jon Plunkett. Click on the painting above to find out more.
‘In a world where authenticity can be increasingly hard to find, Plunkett’s work is the real thing. In a world that grows increasingly cold-hearted and acquisitive and self-absorbed, these poems are encompassing, generous, and deeply compassionate.
Equally importantly, Plunkett writes with such precision and skill that his work can’t help but strike a true chord with the reader. Poetry, of course, is as much a species of music as a form of literature, and in this outstanding collection Plunkett consistently hits the right note.’
