Word Work

I am an artist.

I am inspired by words, light, texture, energy and colour. 

I create, paint, photograph, doodle, weave and write 
whenever I can . I sell art cards and magnet sets, custom invitations and posters. 

My photographs and artwork have been exhibited in 
Toronto, North Hatley and Lennoxville, Quebec and are represented in private collections in Canada and the U.S. 

I hold an M.Ed. in holistic and spiritual education from OISE-U of Toronto, a B.A. in theatre from Bishop's University.

I went off in search
of me and myself
by doing and thinking 
and creating and loving 
and hoping and dreaming and being.

And I found there is 
activity in not doing, and 
thought in not thinking, and creation in not creating, and 
love in not loving, and
hope in not hoping, and 
dreams in not dreaming and
I AM by not being.

Once I stopped searching, 
I discovered everything.
