Hi there! My name is Philomena Sheehan (Pip for short), and I live in the wonderful NSW Hunter Valley.
As an education professional, community arts worker, spoken word artist, disability advocate, study coach & published poet, it's been about leading a creative, balanced, motivated & fulfilling life.
Community Arts Events
Crossing Live is a monthly spoken word event facilitated by Pip at The Crossing Cafe Kearsley, just out of Cessnock on the Toronto road. On the first Sat arvo of each month, Mar-Nov. Spoken word, poetry, storytelling, music, art, & open mic. Contemporary, bush, old school - anyone can take part. Life, loss, love, and lots of laughs.
Hunter Artisans Gallery & Cafe
48 Melbourne Street, East Maitland. Pip is the poet-in-residence every Sunday morning 10-12. Come by to engage about art & poetry, and enjoy the cafe, the conversation, & the ambience. This program was facilitated by the Maitland City Council in 2017, & successfully continues in 2018.

I'm based at Cessnock in the Hunter Valley.. After a lot of years out & about around the planet, I've settled back in the district I grew up in. Nothing like an afternoon shiraz on the deck of the vineyard down the road, or hitching a ride with a sister who's working in Sydney for the day - I love it!
