Autorenporträt
Paquita Fadden, a former accountant and IT professional has finally allowed her creative side loose. She happily combines writing and painting wherever she happens to be-travelling the world photographing wildlife and landscapes, sailing a yacht along the Australian coastline, playing with her identical twin granddaughters in Canada, or just hanging out in her art studio in Brisbane. She was recently awarded a highly-commended for her artwork in the 2021 annual exhibit of the Watercolour Society of Queensland. This is her first book as author/illustrator.
