Creative writing, with a big emphasis on poetry, has illuminated Rosemary’s life for many years. Her back story as somewhat of a polymath also includes primary and secondary school teaching of music and maths in the UK, solo piano, orchestral (viola and violin), chamber music, and choral performances. Present delights, as well as writing and piano playing include art, photography and becoming the Musical Director of a women's choir on Waiheke Island, where Rosemary has lived gratefully for twenty five years, drawing inspiration from nature and people.
