AbstractHistoryArchive Description

‘John E. Smith took up art after he broke his neck in a riding accident. He discovered a great talent and his bold reef and rainforest scenes sold worldwide. Therese was born in Malta and joined the Franciscan order at 17. Fate led her to Mackay where she nursed John after his accident. Falling in love, she was torn between her vows and her desire to marry. This biography pays tribute to this renowned artist and the courage of Therese who chose to love him unconditionally.’ (Publisher’s blurb)
