Author Biography
Irish artist/writer/explorer Meg Robinson's life started with trouble, continued with unusual parents and developed into a quest leading her to explore great wildernesses from Alaska to South America. Her apprenticeship as an artist/writer included working in a mice-infested pottery in Edinburgh, wrapping chocolates in a Dickensian factory and becoming a life model to pay the rent. She studied art in London, married twice, had two sons, wrote a film script, a stage play and two TV dramas, then created her own private art school. A miraculous recovery from a ten year illness in 1996 led to a fascination with wilderness, healing, spirituality, clowning and meditation. Meg then took a year's sabbatical which turned into seven years. In 2002 she restored an old house in a remote mountain village in Spain where she now offers spiritual and creative retreats. In 2009 a visit to Peru resulted in setting up a charity with a local man to bring winter aid to seventy high mountain families.
