Profile

Biography
I am an artist, writer and qigong teacher who loves telling stories with words and images. I often have a camera in my hand and a pen nearby. I have made photographs and written poems and stories since I was a young child. It is only in the past few years that I have given myself the time to create more and share.
I am a retired journalist and writer broadcaster who has had the good fortune of writing for the Globe and Mail, the Scotian Journalist Magazine in Halifax and CBC Radio as a writer broadcaster in Montreal, Quebec City, Saint John and Moncton. Most of my stories focused on politics, feminist issues, climate change and the arts.
I have studied literature and sociology at St. FX. University, Political Science at Dalhousie University, Film Making at York University and French language studies at the Universities de Montreal et Moncton. I am also a retired Naturopathic practitioner and acupuncturist.
I am humanitarian, ecofeminist, friend, wife, mother and grandmother who grew up with 7 brothers and one sister in Cape Breton. I live in an old forest beside the Petitcodiac river just outside of Moncton.
These rich experiences along with my extensive travels have given me the confidence, skills and courage to express myself in my art. I look forward to writing more and sharing with members.
