Lockdown Art and Creativity in Scotland Exhibition
Author and poet Rita Bradd was born in Edinburgh, and lives near Dunbar, East Lothian.
She retired from office work several years ago and now has a successful writing career.
After an exciting 2019 where she saw her book ‘Clipper Ship City of Adelaide BENEATH THE SOUTHERN CROSS’ launched in Scotland and on board 1864 clipper ship City of Adelaide in Port Adelaide, South Australia in November, Rita channelled her creative energies during lockdown into restoring her garden that has been neglected over the last several years due to her adventures.

“I would say that during the crisis I have found it very difficult to be mentally creative with my writing, so the garden has been a most welcome distraction and a channel for my creativity – and it has got me outdoors!”
