Rosy's Little Book of Prose Rosy Mckenzie

My book contains my poetry, art and photography. I studied Art at a later stage in life, doing an Access to Art & Design course which covered a lot of subjects including ceramics, photography, 3D and 2D design, Fine Art, print work and graphic design. I then went on to study Ceramic Design at Central St Martins University in London and followed by a Fine Art Degree, in Essex. Sadly, my glaucoma took a turn for the worse and I lost a lot of eyesight. I had little option but to join a visually impaired art class in Hadleigh, Essex. During this time, I exhibited my work in local Art Trails. One day, on Chatt Inn Facebook group, I wrote a tiny ditty which went down well, and I was invited to write a poem on a regular basis. I kept all my poems on WordPress together with some of my earlier art and photography. When I moved home, a friend kindly presented me with a book he had created on Lulu, containing some of my art and poems. This inspired me to produce this book of further poetry, art and photography.
