About This Author

I have an 'Artisic Temperament'. This has been thrown at me as an accustaion, held out to me as a consolation and presented to me as an accolade in equal measure. Blessing or curse, it is probably my most observable characteristic. I'm glad of it. It keeps me company and makes sure I keep on creating. I paint, play music and weave words. If only my artistic temperament would also do the housework, I'd be made. To find out more about me and my creative activities, visit my website at www.ruthcaldermurphy.com
