Make a Date (with yourself)

Make a Date (with yourself)

Heather Matthew
artist dates, boats

Taking yourself on an artist date is one of the best activities you can do to nourish and nurture your inner artist. I love travelling on ferries so I’m off to Manly to jump aboard the MFF Manly Fast Ferry and fill my sails with salt air. It’s an excuse to deliver my artist book Post Operative to the Manly Library in person as well as share my love of ferry travel with my granddaughter.

Sea Fever

Sea Fever

Heather Matthew
inspiration, poetry

The sea is a poem, a song and a fever. It’s where I resonate with the lines from John Masefield’s poem Sea Fever,  listen to the slap of water in Dylan Thomas’s fishing boat bobbing sea and look for Emily Dickinson’s mermaids in the basement. Sailing, ferries and boats are a part of my sea fever yearning.
