Suspend the machinations of your mind and open wide the portals of your heart and imagination when reading the creations of poet, Victoria Twomey. It is possible that each reading of her work will bring you gifts, pleasure and when you least expect it, compelling surprises. . .

 What a wonderful experience to be interviewed for Art in Conversation with Farrin! She is so lovely, and I am quite proud of this video interview.

The National Association of Women Artists (NAWA) published an Artist/Author interview where I talk about the experience of creating for both worlds.
