Following years in a business enviroment, my life changed course and allowed me to follow my passions: visual art and the written word; music and nature. What was once a hobby to be completed off the corner of a desk now envelopes my waking moments - always thinking of a short story, a painting, capturing a photo. I am fortunate to live surrounded by spectacular scenery in the interior of British Columbia which constantly provides inspiration, and feeds the passion. Volunteer hours are spent tutoring and promoting literacy and working with the Arts Council.
