About Me
I was born in England, moved to Newfoundland in my twenties and then moved againin my forties to Victoria BC, where I am very happily settled.
Like many people I have had an eclectic career path, one that has led me from teacher to architectural technician, book designer, illustrator, artist and now new author of a fantasy adventure book for 8 - 12 year olds.
I am a firm believer in the enduring power of imagination and creativity, and I'm very happy that "Finding the Time for Dragons" has found its way into so many children's lives. Most people ask me if it is illustrated, it isn't, but the cover art is mine.
Now retired, I am usually found in my studio, busy writing a sequel, while continuing to paint and draw as the spirit moves.

About MeI’m a full-time Children’s Book Illustrator, living in West Van since 2021. I started my career as a graphic designer many moons ago but found that my love of children’s books was too strong to ignore.
My most recent PB was my first non-fiction STEM publication and it’s all about the importance of tiny animals - I couldn’t have asked for a better subject. I also love drawing food, games and people’s portraits (Bios).
When I’m not working, you can find me petting all the dogs at the park or making paper collages.

"Dodoland" emphasized Imagination,"Magical Earth Secrets"- environment, "Miracle Galaxy"- healing & angels, Dream Wheels" - dreams including a 40-year history of my dreams which have been manifested. Plays of my books have performed - Museum of Natural History, B.A.M., Smithsonian, 3rd St. Music School, hospitals ( Sloan Kettering, Metropolitan Hospital and Children's Hospital), and schools.

In 1979 6,000 copies of Dodoland were gifted to needy children and in 2020 6,000 digital copies were gifted of the book I illustrated with writer Aaron Zerah. In 1995 an ezine was created called Dodoland on the internet and has had two million people visit it.
In surviving a health crisis I created "Miracle Galaxy"- a story of healing with eight angels who help those in crisis. All the Angels represent the chakras of the body and the goal is to create health ,happiness and healing. My latest two stories, "Dream Gifts for the Planet Earth" and "Star Galaxy for the World' have many messages for this challenging time we are going thru now with the Pandemic. The Magical Earth Secrets was performed in Japan for seven years. The Miracle Galaxy is being videoed in May of 2021 in Japan. Earth Action was created in 2021 after being developed with the Buckminster Fuller 'Space Camp'.
I am honored to be chosen with 144 Artists for the Design Science Studio r(Evolutionary) Buckminster Fuller Institute and HaRitual for 2021/2022 cohort program which is part of a ten year Vision and look forward to this experience and collaborations
