Hazel Buys

When I was a child, I started writing stories (short, about kittens) and poems (bad), and drawing horses (such a cliche), and found I wanted to make better stories, explore poem forms and really learn to draw and paint. Then I grew up and got serious.

As happens in Life.

But writing and drawing and painting kept nibbling at me, and year after year one thing led to another, and now… I draw and paint in graphite, watercolor and metal point. I also write short stories, novels and haiku.

Visual poetry

For years I have been an artist and a writer. And, I often find the most joy in sharing these gifts with others. Over the course of the past 15 years, I have taught countless classes on poetry, painting, drawing, and writing and I look forward to sharing offering 7 classes in 2024. Please take a look below at the class list and be sure to sign up as space is limited.
