About the cover artist

Tasmanian-born artist Shane Drinkwater has exhibited widely in Australia and is represented internationally by galleries in New York, Massachusetts, Toronto, and Copenhagen. The Museum of the Mind in Amsterdam acquired nine of his works in 2021, featuring three in a recent exhibition.

Shane studied at the University of Tasmania and the National Art School in Sydney. After a fellowship in Paris, where he lived for six years, he settled in Queensland in 1994. Shane describes his painting as a process-driven exploration of colour, shape, and texture, using lines, dashes, and dots to create works that resemble coded systems or maps. He emphasizes that his work speaks for itself, rendering language unnecessary.

Visit Shane’s Instagram to see more of his work.

“With a voice that’s loving, curious and hungry for life, you’ll be guided on an exploration of themes of home, belonging, love, self-remembrance and awakening, and you’ll come away with just a little more courage to live life more boldly, more authentically and more aligned with that quiet but insistent voice within that’s always beckoning you home.”

— Emma Campbell Webster”
