About This Author

I am an artist and writer whose unconventional outlook was initially moulded by the noble Kenyan tribe I grew up alongside, without electricity, and trying to match all of that to a bizarre post-colonial environment. Living and meditating in the Indian Himalaya accentuated this pre-modern world view; hiking through West Asia to London added spice. I began writing when trying to match my open stance with the enticing, yet destructive modern existence we are only now starting to question. My education books, some broadcast by the BBC, were slanted towards environmental sensitivity, my more recent ones, illustrated with my ink drawings, attempt to encourage the reader to be positively active based on an awareness of our incredible existence.
