I am planter of plants, an over-consumer of coffee, an obsessive researcher, a rescuer of crows, a collector of books (usually bought for the pictures), a recycler, a friend of dogs, cats and all animals regardless of how many legs they do or do not possess. I am a lover of things that were built to last, a critic of the disposable, and a fan of film and print. I have waded with beluga whales and was once bitten by a seal. I am also an illustrator, designer and fine artist and I live in Vancouver, B.C. Also, I am not very tidy.

I have illustrated of a handful of children’s picture books, am a member of CWILL BC, (Children’s Writer’s and Illustrators of British Columbia), and at about 4 years old I had a Shetland pony called Duffy, and I looked like this:

Due to studio commitments, I am unavailable for school or library visits.
