Barbara Turney Wieland is an artist/painter who always described herself as a ‘frustrated writer who paints instead’. She finally found the courage and inspiration to start gathering the words that have been flying around in her head and started writing in 2015. Satisfied, she can now say that she has also begun to be published too ( The Mulberry Fork Review, Threelinepoetry, skinnypoertyjournal, Rat’s Ass Review, Blue Mountain Review, issue 4, Walking Is Still Honest Press W.I.S.H - poet of the month, Communicators League) She is currently stuffing poems and stories into a back drawer to see if they mate. BTW works as an English /Art teacher, lives in Switzerland with her family but hails from the UK and Australia.
