Leonie Napier is a local writer in the Riverina. Her great joy is found in writing poems and stories filled with narrative, rhyme, and alliteration. Sensory experiences, relationships, family, history, and story spark her imagination. She has stepped into the foray of writing a children’s story following the success of her plays Bloodshed at the Banquet and A Twist in the Tale that were successfully performed at the Australian Art Deco Festival in 2022 and 2023. Her grandchildren inspire her with their ceaseless curiosity and wonder at the world around them. She enjoys the richness of collaboration and the beauty it creates. The Curious Explorers is a perfect example of collaboration of artists in the Riverina.
