Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

The 2nd and 3rd were taken in the Hidden Valley of Orakei Korako in New Zealand. The most stunning thermal region I have ever seen.

You know how jaw dropping it is and you are right – it is a spiritual place.

Thank you very much. Thats it with abstracts – it is what they make you feel. I used to try and understand the meaning but now I think it is best just to get lost in the emotion of the moment.

This is art. I’m enchanted by your images. Very special places, like of the very beginning of the earth’s time, the land unmarked by mankind, bubbling to the surface. Just WOW, Irene.

I’m glad you liked them Sharon. I thought some of them were just amazing and to think they occur naturally – hard for an artist to compete.

But inspiration for an artist.
