Marjoke Henrichs

I was born in The Netherlands, but have lived and worked in the UK as an Artist and Theatre Designer for many years.

In 1995 I took part in the UK theatre design entry at the Prague Quadrennial which won the Gold Medal. Recently, I designed the set for ‘Little Red Riding Hood’: a children’s show for Northern Ballet and ‘Booming Voices’ for Eastern Angles.

I paint semi abstract landscapes inspired by my immediate surroundings, marshes, the river, ditches and arable fields, the sounds of the water birds and Suffolk’s big skies.

After my two children had grown up, I studied an MA in children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art and graduated in February 2019 with a distinction.

Enia Oaks

Hi, I’m Enia Oaks. I’m a writer, physician, and lifelong observer of what it means to be human. My work explores inner landscapes—healing, identity, love, grief, reclamation—and the quiet, ordinary moments that make life sacred.

My debut book, From a Studio in Oakland, California: 108 Notes on Existence, was written during a season of deep personal transition. It’s a collection of essays and poetic meditations that invites readers back into their own truth—gently, and with clarity.

I write from lived experience—burnout and beauty, unraveling and re-creation. If there’s a thread through all my work, it’s this: you are not alone, and your life has always been speaking to you.

When I’m not writing, I’m practicing emergency medicine, wandering New
