Eileen Scott has had an amazing career. In the male dominated world of business of the 1960′s she fought her way up through the ranks of senior executives at ICI, then the world’s largest chemical company. Eileen recounts being invited into the oak panelled boardroom of ICI where the directors were seated as they smoked cigars and drank whisky. The Chairman said, ’Eileen we just want to tell you that had you not been a woman we can clearly see that one day you would have run this company’, at which point Eileen was waved out of the room. Thankfully, times have changed, Among her prolific creative output Eileen has authored several books such as ’Savage Quest’, ’Soredia Inheritance’ and ’Ziggurat’. She has also produced hundreds of paintings, a snapshot of which can be seen in the book ’Being Visual’ which spans over twenty years of her work.Michael Scott’s early years in rural Gloucestershire laid the foundation for his lifelong interest in landscape and wildlife. Although he qualified as a biologist his sense for the beauties and tragedies of nature was diverted for years by his agricultural research and senior management posts. In the last twenty five years, Michael has worked in the personal development field and became a poet and novelist alongside his passion for painting. His early novels, the ’Fairley Quartet’ and ’Imago’, carry the themes of his new life, while later novels such as ’Brothers’ and ’Nirvana Highway’, also draw upon his experience of Transpersonal Psychology. Works such as, ’Siren Voices’, address what many see as the current breakdown of our civilization. Michaels book. ’The Inward Eye’, presents a retrospective of over 80 of his paintings.POEMS and PAINTINGS is a reflection of a long loving journey.

    Edward V Bonner
