Katie-Marie Fuller is a professional writer and editor, published poet, visual artist and yoga guide, living in Staffordshire, England. Specialising in creative writing, meditative poetry and autonomist abstract art, her esteemed career has been imbued by and grounded in the ancient philosophy of yoga. A Master of Fine Art, qualified journalist, and a multi-lingual speaker, creativity and language are central themes within her work both on and off the mat. Exploring communication in visual spaces, her messages are expressed through art, offered in words and held in devotional movement. “My work as a writer and artist far transcends words written on a page or paint splashed across a canvas. Beautiful words and artistic expression are born from beautiful thinking and excavation of imprinted trauma, which couldn’t exist without the externally somatic, and intrinsically cleansing practice of yoga. With a distinct multiplicity, my emotive, poetic approach to writing aims to invoke deep emotion and incite greater exploration of self.” Contact Details Website Instagram Samara Life Instagram Substack
