About The Author
Simon James Duffy
Zoé Nóima: The Heartbeat of Murals of Memory
Created by Simon James Duffy, author of Murals of Memory: The Art of Healing, Zoé Nóima is more than a character. She is the heartbeat of the world Duffy has created, a world where art, memory, loss, and healing intersect. Within this fictional world, Edgar Quillworth serves as the writer and narrator, giving voice to the stories, encounters, and reflections that unfold around Zoé and the other characters.
Born from loss and shaped by resilience, Zoé represents the spirit of every artist who has ever turned pain into creation. Her story reflects a journey many understand but few can articulate: the transformation of grief into something visible, powerful, and lasting. After losing her parents at a young age, Zoé found herself navigating a world that felt unfamiliar and unkind. It was through art that she rediscovered her voice.
