About Me |
|
| > xxx WE CAN REDUCE CLIMATE CHAOS xx I love a lot of people and they love me. I love blue skies. I love rain. I love fog. I love the ocean on a cold windy day. I have two sons, a sponsor child in Ethiopia...and a cat and five hens. So many to care for. I'm an artist and a writer. I'm always exhibiting my art. I'm writing a biography of a wonderful man, a refugee, who left behind so much and survived so much. The world is both amazing and horrible at the same time. With everything happening in the world at the moment we have three choice 1. compete to get whatever we can for ourselves 2. give up 3. do whatever we can to make the world a fairer, healthier and more equitable place......so many people seem to either close their eyes or live as if they're incapable of making a difference in the world....if you're concerned about global warming, shrinking habitats, human suffering because of rising seas, innocent people caught up in bloody wars, increasing shortages of food...there is so much you can do. You can recycle....buy an old house instead of using precious natural resources to build a new big one, eat less meat and leave a smaller carbon "footprint", plant trees, donate to relieve poverty, buy less "things" (you know you don't need them), open you're mind to new ways of living. .. |

My Interests |
|
| Seeing. Hearing. Feeling. Creating. Losing myself in water, paint, charcoal, sex, the sky, a kiss, a belly laugh, red wine, dark chocolate, sweet remembrance, a newborn baby's eyes, someone's moment, my children's hair on my face, homebaking, going to sleep. Sharing this world. Balance. Acceptance. Being Awake and Aware. Living now in the 21st Century in Australia. "Habitat"..... I have a medium term objective to set up a creative community service, providing involvement in creative arts to people living "on the edges" of society..especially young people leaving state care. I'm really excited about this and have been hearing about some new, inventive and successful programmes happening around Australia. Like one combining antenatal care of aboriginal teenage mum's with making and painting caste's of their pregnant bellies...with great health outcomes for the babies! I have a handful of friends who are looking to do something similar - performing artists, musicians, social workers (my past profession), psychologists and visual artists. Any of you who've done anything like this or know anyone who has I'd love your advice! Leunig, Australian Cartoonist | |
I'd like to meet:REAL people all around the world. people who can inspire me with what they're doing for the world and by how they live....and artists. writers. kind people who aren't idealistic. creative, expressive and different people...funny people, people who just want to know me or like my art or ideas or writing |

|
Television:Does anyone really care what I watch on TV |
|
Books:Currently reading "Awakening: A Memoir of Revolution and Hope" by the lawyer and human rights activist Shirin Ebadi. Finally I'm putting all the pieces of the Iran/Iraq/US puzzle together. Combined with other reading and conversations I've had with refugees I think what she has to say is her truthful story and anyone who wants some insight into what's happening, and the events of the 20th century leading up to the current situation should read her book. Just finished "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini..the author of "The Kite Runner". "Artlink" contemporary Australian art magazine |
|
Heroes:SURVIVORS OF ALL KINDS........You can say the sun is shining if you really want to - I can see the moon and it seems so clear - You can take the road that takes you to the stars now - I can take a road that'll see me through - (Nick Drake "Road") xxx "Celtic Dreaming" "Troubles".....REMEMBER, THE PAST REALLY IS GONE IF WE WANT IT TO BE. |
