It's all one, really.
Writing inspires artwork; artwork laces through writing.
The golden thread of karate-do unites
body-mind-spirit
and brings out kids to classes, yay!
who bring out the kid in me.

The thrust of this life is to live healthily and consciously
factoring costs to the Earth into every choice
a constant since high school
through B.Sc. in Zoology and M.Sc. in Environmental Education
writing, illustrating, learning, sharing the wonders and worthiness
of all nature's gifts, its challenges too.

Community is about family, neighbours, and friends
working to leave this place a little better than we found it.

Home is Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada,
living in an octagon-motif house I designed and helped build
with husband Don, a geotechnical engineer.
We've raised two kids, now adults.
