Lise Sinclair lives in Fair Isle, the remote island midway between Shetland and Orkney, where she was born (1971) and brought up. She shifted seamlessly from a career in Fine Art at Glasgow School of Art to parenting and subsistence crofting with boat-builder husband Ian Best and gradually their four children. She is a singer and musician who has recorded and performed as widely as Reykjavik, Norway, Washington DC and Glasgow; she has recently composed and performed a suite for cello, harp and voice based on Shetland poetry. Her poems have been published in The New Shetlander and Pull of the Moon. |
