Marie Lehtman was one of the first people to purchase a copy of The Whisperings of Nature as soon as it was published. I had just annnounced the news of my first published book on Twitter. Maria spotted my tweet and connected with me right away.
I found out months later, Maria had been recovering (during that time) from a sudden and debilitating illness which had caused huge upheaval in her life. Eventually, she recovered sufficiently to start working on a book project of her own, a project which she kindly invited me to collaborate on with her.
The 'Dreaming Doors' is a collection of Maria’s poems (mostly in English), combined with her photography to create a thought-provoking reflection on the theme of doorways and dreams.
Doorways are also a fascination of mine. My 'Indian Heart Way' art collection features two interesting doorways which I encountered on my travels in India. I wrote two poems for Maria’s book and submitted images of two of my paintings for inclusion.
"Being authentic allows you to connect people, who share your passion, with the possibilities of working towards common goals."
Caroline Cunningham, Artist
Like myself, Maria is also passionate about promoting Nature as a source of inspiration and well-being. It’s a clear sign that it pays to be authentic, as you're more likely to connect people, who share your passion, with the possibilities of working towards common goals.
Maria is the owner of my painting The In Between and it has been a pleasure to collaborate with her through the digital realm. Along with being a leader in digital marketing in the telecoms sector, Maria is also multi-talented in any art forms herself.
Find out more about Maria and the Dreaming Doors in our interview below. Her book The Dreaming Doors is a lovely keep-sake or a gift for those of you who love travel and the stories they inspire.
Through my art and writing I share stories and inspiration for transformation, healing and dreams turning to reality. When you visit my gallery you glimpse my journey, my authentic path. It took a ‘Break True’ moment to point me towards developing my artistic talents. It’s never too late to make a new start. I’ve achieved a lot in a relatively short time. My work has been presented in New York as part of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, has been displayed on county Post Office and has been show-cased on National TV. Read more about my art journey here.

‘Who are in the men in tree?’ A busy exhibition opening night had come to a close and a few of my friends were awaiting an answer to this question. Seeing my puzzled expression, they beckoned me to stand before my ‘Treedom Series 3' painting. Inspired by a very old and majestic beech tree anchored […]
Embracing Morning Light Dawn is breaking, I bath in golden rays of light streaming through the branches of trees with their newly emerging canopy of leaves. Emerging from the darkness of winter in Ireland, like many, I welcome the morning light and lengthening of days. 'Trees of The Golden Dawn' is inspired by such a […]
