About the Author

Laura Bowen is an artist, writer and nature lover. Her Aboriginal connections are to the Worimi/Biripai people of the Manning River area of New South Wales, Australia. Laura takes pride in her Aboriginal heritage and in all of the influences that are sewn into the tapestry that is her bloodline. She lives in the Bellingen valley on the mid-north coast of New South Wales Australia. My Dreaming is my past, my present and my future. It is the space where I can follow the threads of my personal bloodline, through all those who have come before me and who are still to come. It is the place within my heart where I feel the connection to the land I was born on and the creatures that inhabit my immediate environment. With this connection also comes a responsibility to care for and acknowledge the spirits of the land on which I live.
