Shan Artist In England: Weaving A Tapestry Of My Life

Born into post independence Burma, Feraya's life has been one affected by major upheavals and early tragedy. A childhood of rural Shan State and bustling Rangoon, she emerges as a child with a strong will. The military coup in 1962 saw family tragedy and her father lose his job and home and led to the family moving to the UK of the Swinging Sixties. Feraya found her feet at school and soon immersed herself in the hippy culture of a rapidly changing western UK. Facing racial prejudice in multi-racial Burma and at school and work in the UK, Feraya has learnt to deal with its many manifestations throughout her life. Married to a high flyer and moving to Hong Kong and Tokyo brought a dazzling array of experience, as well as a growing interest in spiritual and healing techniques. Returning to the UK and finding life's erratic course bringing new opportunities for giving healing and new love. Throughout her life Feraya maintained and explored her artistic talents in art and later in poetry, as well as actively caring for the ongoing human rights issues within her homeland now known as Myanmar. An amusing and unusual autobiography of a wonderful person.(Note: This book has been published as "Beatnik Artist from Burma", in black&white interior.
