Tricia Hague-Barrett

Biography

Firstly I am a Baha'i, and I am an Author, painter, poet, sculptor, and I have earned a Diploma of Art and Creativity from The Learning Connexion in Wellington, New Zealand. I am 68 years young, and have a keen interest in meeting new people from all around the world, and helping to bring about greater understanding and love to the human world. I believe strongly in the concept of One World, as 'the earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.' A quote directly from the Baha'i Writings. I am a mother of 5 grown up children, I am a grandmother of 11, and a great grandmother of 1 (I think)
