Word Work

I am an artist.

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

I live in peace with my muse and create, paint, photograph, doodle, weave and write whenever I can ....... 

My photographs and paintings have been exhibited in Toronto and North Hatley and Lennoxville, Quebec and are represented in private collections in Canada and the U.S. 
My writing has been published in books, newspapers 
and newsletters.

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

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.
