'The Woman in the Distance' reflections of un-settled seasons OUT NOW

The Woman in the Distance

Sophie Mill has led a productive, passionate and creative life with solo exhibitions in Australia, Italy and the USA. Sophie has two children and has been married for sixteen years. She now lives in Newcastle, Australia working as a full time contemporary artist and writer, and escorts painting and writing group tours to Manhattan, New York.

Sophie Mill has a natural ability to be profoundly insightful with her thoughts, ideas and creative story telling. This emotive piece of writing starts with early love stories, and then it un-ravels to reveal something quite extraordinary. ‘The Woman in the Distance’ is a classical true story that every woman will find inspiring. Not everyone has experienced happiness, but every woman has experienced heartache. This creative international contemporary artist evokes a wide range of emotions with her art works as well as her powerful use of the word.

This incredible story walks the reader easefully through disappointments, tragedies, hardships and it brings light to mental illness through artful story telling.

This must read memoire is for those who have experienced anorexia, alcohol abuse, isolation, deep love, mental illness, loss and heartbreak. This story is not about defeatism, it is a delightful adventure into passion and creativity. Sophie Mill is hilarious with her quick wit, and emotional with her despair. Set in the Australian outback, this bright and bubbly city girl soon fi nds out that the land is ruthlessly isolating, but this author creates a picture of brilliance.

Sail Indonesia whilst painting and writing, cooking, photography and snorkling

There are many common interest groups who like to travel together and a private charter is the way to go. When you charter the boat you have total control over where we go and who travels with you. There is a flat daily rate that covers all food, staffing and beverages.
You work directly with our Captain to ensure that your expectations are met. As we do work on a 14 day rotation there is a minimum number of days per private charter but these will be much less than you expect.
Contact us for further information.

Expedition Cruises

I am extraordinarily lucky to be close friends with Mick Fogg. On most of my Indonesian adventures, I have been accompanied by either Mick, or one of his team. His company - Wallacea Expeditions - have agreed to work closely (or hand in hand) with Indonesian Island Sail to provide tailor made expedition tours.
Indonesia Sailing Cruise Adventure Each expedition cruise will have a member of Mick’s team accompany us. Daily lectures, and their personal leadership make expedition tours unforgettable. Mick is one of only a handful of people, who has access to the Camp Leaky Orang-utan Care Centre in Borneo. Here you get to interact with baby and adolescent orang-utans. An experience that is simply priceless.
For more information you can contact either Mick or myself. http://www.indonesianislandsail.com

Painting and Writing Tours in Manhattan

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Beethoven said that music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual; the same can be said for art and writing.

What does it mean to paint and write? It means that an un-told amount of passion and erotic fulfilment happens to the self. And, all this is from a single sheet of paper, a few pens, and a pot of paint.

Travelling is an art, it is about seeing, experiencing and understanding. When this happens, the experience can never be taken from you. Just as it is with love, once you fall in love the memory and the feeling stays with you for a life time. If it wasn't love, the image quietly drifts into the distance of nothingness.

To experience Manhattan's most incredible places is to paint and write, then frame the memory.
