Words Woven Through Paint: Poetry and Art by Deirdre West - Paperback

Award winning artist and writer, Deirdre West, presents a collection of 44 poems and 44 color illustrations of original oil paintings and charcoal drawings, composed over a 20 year span. Her poetry celebrates the topics of love, loss, self-exploration and travel while the accompanying classical realist art evokes a world of dreams through the subjects of landscape, still life and the human figure. A world traveler, her work is not confined to a single continent but weaves the strands of varied cultures to explore what it means to be awake and how to embrace life while learning to let go.
