I live in Toronto, Canada. Here I make artwork that gives me life and nourishes my spirit. I enjoy independent learning and exploring new media and so I've taken a non-linear path in my work. This has led me from hand carved and printed linocuts and woodcuts in the 1970s through ‘90s, to fibre arts and painting. Most recently I’m writing and making collages.

My themes centre on my love of and concern for nature. These are seen in my linocuts, paintings and Latent Kitten writing. The other important themes of my work are emotional healing and spirituality. My auspicious card deck, “Mirrors of the Heart,” arose from this.

My paintings, prints and fibre art are in private collections in North America. My Mirrors of the Heart deck continues to sell internationally. You can see links to my work in the galleries section.
