I'm a teacher by education, a graphic designer by profession, a reader by obsession, a writer because it's a form of therapy/prayer and a photographer because, well, it can be a fascinating expression of everything around and about us. I live in Vancouver Canada where I'm surrounded by a company of artistic/truth-seeking/beauty-personifying friends who constantly inspire me with their courage. I love this beautiful city. I am trying to learn Stillness - I believe the truth of who we are is found in Quiet. I am also trying to learn Action - I believe knowledge and awareness can come swiftly through movement. These are not opposing beliefs, both dial down to focus and intention.

If I have a mandate at all it comes from one of my favourite American writers, Annie Dillard, who conveyed a truth in a way that I realized one day I could not ignore. She said:

“You were made and set here to give voice to this, your own astonishment”.
