The Book of Mists 

A Short History

Image removed at the request of the Artist

The Book of Mists is a look at life through poetry and artwork -- a mystical look at the trials and tribulations of our daily lives.  Through Jordana's contribution as an artist and her perception as a woman, there is a highlighting of different aspects of what is being explored.  

The focus is on celebration, of enjoyment and our ability to overcome. There was no attempt for either poetry or artwork to be given a dominant role.  The aim was to find a balance, where the reader can return, depending on their mood, to read something into the interaction between them.

1970  The first poem -- the first step of the journey of The Book of Mists, is completed.

1998  Jordana moves to the Blue Mountains beginning to expand her career as an artist.
