Reflections on Self
"I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, Knocking on a door. It opens. I've been knocking from the inside!" ~ Rumi I search for balance between logic and emotion. Between the real and imagined. Between words and images. Between chaos and order. I find joy in making others laugh. I cry more than most. Edginess and conformity, cynicism and gentleness are my ongoing battles. The struggle fuels my art. Art fuels me. A selective CV
I grew up near Montreal, Quebec. In my mid-20s I moved to SW British Columbia, where I have lived ever since. Except for five years in Nova Scotia, which is where most of my family still hangs out. I changed the spelling of my name when I was 16.
I have a partial degree in graphic arts and full degree in journalism. For 10 years I sang folk-rock-blues in bands, trios and duos. I've had lead roles in amateur musical theatre. For 20 years I worked as a writer and editor in a multitude of print media positions. Life-changing travel experiences so far include six months backpacking in South America and a three-month trip across Canada in a van with my partner and two very large dogs. We only used the TransCanada Highway once. |
