BiographyHistory

Lorna Thrift Brooks grew up in Murmungee near Beechworth, Victoria, before moving to Albury, New South Wales, in 1940 for further education. After marriage in 1950 to a returned serviceman who became a soldier settler, she moved to a property in western Victoria near Harrow then to Macedon, Victoria, where as an artist and teacher of painting and pottery for over sixty years she continued to work and exhibit. Her first collection of poetry, Lilies on the Tongue, revisits her childhood to explore truths and fictions.
