Travelled in Mexico, France, India and Russia enjoying different landforms, people, art and food not necessarily in that order.

My interest in photography began while living on a tiny island in
the Hebrides. The main theme of my images was archetypes as revealed in close-ups of unusual rock formations. My work was shown and sold on the Island of Iona, Mull and in Glasgow.

In 1995 I returned to BC. After taking a course in Photoshop I began to work digitally with layers of rubbings, monoprints, encaustic and photos.

Sometime in 2011, feeling the need to paint, I began to experiment with large watercolours, distressing the paper, using other media and digital prints.
