Melinda Smith - Melinda had a dream one night back in
October 2000 and that dream was to draw, Melinda has found ways and
means to incorporate her illustrating techniques into her writing
stating that art and poetry are similar but have different stories
to tell.
Melinda works at Communication Resource Centre in Melbourne as a
community development worker and feels that her purpose in life, is
to enhance community awareness on disability issues, particularly in
the area of communication.
