"Dragonfly"

 

 

Was born and raised on the prairies of Alberta, Canada. It was a magical place in the middle of nowhere when I was 10... by the time I was 18... it was the middle of nowhere HELL!  I graduated from high school, university admission in hand…. my gift from my parents... a set of luggage.  I guess that was a hint! I honestly thought I was an easy child...

I started my life and school in Halifax, Nova Scotia... almost as far east you can get in Canada!  (Of course a point nearly the furthest from where I grew up!)  I don’t recall much of the early years... I think all the lobster went to my head!  I graduated from Dalhousie University... Diploma in Engineering.. minor in Architecture. Even though the east coast was quaint and beautiful.. it wasn’t enough for this young vibrant soul to spread her wings... so...

 

 

 

I moved to Montreal, Quebec... the slice of Europe in the New World.  It was like shell shock... a cultural blender rivalled only by New York.  There I attended Concordia University and continued my studies, graduating with a BFA in Design.  I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Montreal... it gave me the courage to venture further....

 

So.. I headed south, the stories of the land of milk and honey whirring in my brain... and for the last 13 years I have travelled, experienced, lived, loved, many people and  points on the map, but always to call the Puget Sound my hub of operations.  My art may not have had a chance to be front and center all the time, but it has been growing, developing.. perhaps even fermenting within my soul and spirit.  All that my art embodies now is a cummulative slurry pot of but a small portion of my lifetime...
