Esther Salamon

It was with great sad­ness that we learned of the death of Esther Sala­m­on at the begin­ning of Decem­ber 2023. Esther’s cre­ativ­i­ty, ener­gy and pas­sion for social jus­tice led her to bring peo­ple togeth­er to explore the con­cept of Inde­pen­dent Cre­ative Living. 

Her vision was to cre­ate a place where peo­ple could afford to age well in com­fort and safe­ty whilst con­tin­u­ing to devel­op their cre­ativ­i­ty along­side the com­mu­ni­ties in which they live. Esther was par­tic­u­lar­ly con­cerned with artists who give many years of their lives to work­ing cre­ative­ly with oth­ers but can end up not hav­ing been in a posi­tion to pro­vide for their lat­er lives.

Esther’s ener­gy, vision and integri­ty will be great­ly missed by many, but with her char­ac­ter­is­tic fore­sight she asked a few of us to work togeth­er to realise Inde­pen­dent Cre­ative Liv­ing. We hope you will con­tin­ue to work with us to bring this project to fruition and hon­our the mem­o­ry of an inspir­ing, gen­er­ous and thought­ful woman. It was our priv­i­lege to know her and to be touched by her creativity.
