Do you enjoy poetry and art? Then this one-of-a-kind collaboration between award-winning artist Fiona Hooper and ten talented international poets is for you.

So sit back, relax and indulge in the calming, tranquil landscapes and reflect on the unique penmanship of these ten global poets who offer their interpretations and observations on the author's remarkable images. "Art is about memory. Whether it's visualising a place you've been, imagining a place that doesn't exist, or even understanding your connection to a place, it will all rest on your memories. Your memories of who you are, what you've done, where you've been, and most importantly with whom those memories were created. Since childhood, my mother loved taking me to places with wonderful natural scenery, which has subsequently inspired my landscape paintings. As someone whose mother is in a care home due to Alzheimer's, I've witnessed the pain of losing those memories and losing that connection. This book is an effort to rekindle those memories and more importantly raise money in aid of Alzheimer's Research UK." -Fiona Hooper 20% of profits from book sales will be donated to Alzheimer's Research UK

Autor

Award-winning and critically-acclaimed artist Fiona Hooper love nothing more than painting landscapes in her distinctive and contemporary style. Exploring the world's wild and natural landscapes helps Fiona to recharge her mental 'batteries' and unwind, a feeling she likes to reflect in her paintings. She works predominantly in oils to capture the tranquillity of her settings and her signature style often incorporates gold and silver leaf. Fiona started writing poetry during lockdown which led to her running a weekly live show on Facebook called The Poetry of Painting - a collaborative project of poets from America to Australia. Wherever possible, Fiona prefers to work in the open air and directly from her subject so she can capture and interpret the sights, sounds and smells onto her canvas. However, she achieves the same results using sketches, photographs and her memories of the experience. Fiona lives and works in West Sussex, UK, where she is often to be found on location with her easel and paints. She has paintings in collections in the UK and internationally, including the USA, Canada, France, Ireland, Malta, Australia, and Switzerland.
