저자(글) Springett, Anna Erika

Anna grew up in the rural West of Ireland, as Erika Brown, with her siblings, Irish father and Finnish mother. Nature, music and creativity were formative influences on her early years, as was her dual heritage and a-typical upbringing in a predominantly Irish and Catholic community. Anna's voice as a poet was shaped by a period of living away from family in Finland (aged eight), the keenly evangelical-spiritual environment of home, and the many and diverse people who crossed the threshold of the house she grew up in.Her interest in people and humanity grew from this place, and led Anna to study psychology at Queen's University, Belfast. This ultimately led to her chosen career as a leadership psychologist, professional coach and team development specialist, and more latterly, as a host of professional retreats. Writing and creativity has been a 'side gig' for Anna throughout this time, expressed in journalling, painting, gardening, crafts and interior decoration; sometimes these expressions come together as wall murals or garden-art. Often they are shared experiences with friends and family. Mostly, they provide much needed quiet soul-time.Anna lives in Southampton, UK, with her husband of 20 years, three daughters and various pets.

저자(글) Rose, Bethia Erin

"Bethia is 15 years old and lives in the United Kingdom with her parents and two sisters. In her heart, she lives in the countryside; in reality, she lives in the city. Bethia loves writing, baking, music and Ireland, her heart's home. Bethia's art is influenced by what she reads - romantic literature, and mystery and fantasy novels - and her surroundings; in particular, the garden around her home and how it changes with the seasons. She is also influenced by the lyrics and melodies of the songs she listens to, and the feelings the music inspires. Bethia's creative expression has been shaped by visits to Whitchurch Silk Mill in Hampshire, the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh, and a school trip to Kew Gardens. She also recalls a particularly inspiring creative writing workshop in Killaloe, Ireland, led by her aunt Jessica, which helped her to start to explore the idea of illustrating words. Growing up in an artistic family has been a key influence on Bethia's love of art. Her Irish grandparents' home is full of paintings and artwork by members of the family. Bethia is the proud owner of original artwork by both her Irish grandfather and her uncle Simon, who made her a personalised piece of art that is much cherished. Every one of Bethia's aunts, uncles and grandparents is creative, and between them excel in textiles, crochet, weaving, fine art, painting, writing, art-therapy, furniture making, visual effects, sewing, wood-turning, and instrument making. It would have been surprising if Bethia had not found art as a passionate outlet for herself."
