I came out of the gate of life like a racehorse. At the age of 17 I was attending university where I earned a B.A in arts and a B.Ed. in secondary education from Western Washington University in Bellingham. I minored in Philosophy, Modern Dance and Art. I began studies for an M.FA in creative writing and stopped just short of a full degree. Moving to Vancouver, B.C. I completed a M.A. in Contemporary Poetry under the well-known Warren Tallman. I taught as a T.A. at both Western Washington and at UBC.
Now, after over twenty years as an English high school teacher and as a Acting teacher, I am a working visual artist and writer.
My background connects me to all forms of art in the Okanagan for the 30 plus years I have lived here. I was a founding member of the Vernon Dance School, the City of Kelowna Arts Foundation, the Okanagan Film Festival Society. I wrote, produced and directed plays and was on the executive of Theatre Kelowna. As a columnist for B.C. Musician Magazine I wrote the jazz column for over three years. My husband, Cameron, is an accomplished jazz musician in the valley. So my roots in the art community run deep and wide. Visual art, poetry, non-fiction writing, theatre, dance, and jazz have all enriched my life. My goal is to help other artists in Kelowna to bring joy to the public. I will happily give publicity to any artist with no prejudice…as long as “no animals are hurt in the production.” Tell me about it and I will spread the good news.

What fun! In anticipation of teaching hand crafted books for UBC O Extention Services, I made five handmade books including my poetry and digital imagery for sale in Vernon. The task was engaging and allowed me to explore the interaction between my poetry and my visual/digital art.
My plan is to continue to produce these books and to make versions that are not water soluable. I don’t want to make mass produced items but simply to explore how to produce books that are more sturdy.
Last week I worked ten hour days on marketing and production. I will be loading up images of the new small mdf magnets that I have been painting called “miniature masterpieces” for my site next week. I have also begun to find places to hang my art in the business or corporate setting. The eight pieces I have up at my doctor’s new office are stunningly appropriate for the setting. I always intuited that my work would work best in a contemporary setting.
Coldwell Banker is thinking about putting pieces up in their office and I will produce some giant works for a new furniture store in the Mission area of Kelowna.
I am waiting to receive the catalogue from the Trevisan “Traces of Memory” show in Ferrar, Italy. Photographs of the show are forth coming.
Always more to do in terms of getting my work out into the world. Stay tuned I will be adding links and images soon.
