Corri van de Stege was born in The Netherlands and in her twenties moved to England, gained a degree in Philosophy from University College London and a Masters in Education Policy. She lived and worked in England, Iran and The Netherlands, finally settling in Norfolk, England, as a full time artist, painting and writing. She has a dedicated artist website where you can find her paintings: www.corrivandestegeart.com.
‘Half the World’ is her memoir of living in Isfahan before and during the 1979 Iranian revolution. Her debut women’s fiction novel is ‘Notes on Anna’, which is about a girl who escapes a 1950s dogmatic religious environment in the Bible belt of The Netherlands, only to find herself embroiled in revolution elsewhere. A third novel ‘For the love of Ilsa’ is set for a large part in Norfolk. Two shorts have meanwhile been published, ‘The Price of a Teabag’ and ‘Motet of Betrayal’. More recently she has focused on developing her painting techniques and skills and has participated in a couple of exhibitions.
‘Half the World’ , ‘Notes on Anna’ and ‘For the Love of Ilsa’ are available in eBook format and print versions from Amazon and other online bookstores worldwide, whereas the shorts are available in e-print. You can find out more about the artist on her website www.corrivandestegeart.com and you can follow her on Instagram and Facebook.
