My view of the world is colored by a forty year love affair with a piece of land on Bessette Creek near Lumby. I first saw this place when I was thirteen and decided to make a lifelong commitment to it when I was twenty. During these years I have worked as a mother, gardener, builder, tree planter, political activist and social worker but have returned again and again to the challenge of art.

Although I am a keen environmentalist, I have a profound belief in the goodness of human beings. And while I am aware of the changes we have made to our environment (I didn't used to be afraid to sit in the sun) I am hopeful that human beings can clean the planet up.

I work in a number of media: oil, pencil, ink, watercolor and, recently, computer art. I am fascinated by the patterns of light and water moving and shifting. My one regret is not to have studied animation.
