I am lucky to count among my friends:
Talented women
Strong women
Funny women
Triumph over adversity women
Clever women
Hard working women
Quietly getting on with it women
Noisy life and soul women
Stoic women
Unflappable women
I know women who have changed their lives at the drop of a hat for the benefit of others.
I know women who look after their children on their own, have a job, and be an artist… who must surely have more hours in their days?
I know women who have no idea how beautiful they are.
I know brave women who have fought a fight.
I know women who care for others, through their own illness and injury, and the only moan is an occasional rant, so full of insight and humour it humbles me.
I know women who are artists through and through, but they don’t know it.
…and in amongst them all I sometimes feel like I’ve let it all go for a selfish whim to make stuff and spout about it. But this project I embark upon, is my little nod to them, better women than I.
