Hi there! Thank you for stopping by. I’m an author, artist, photographer, and adventurer based in the beautiful Columbia-Shuswap region of British Columbia, Canada. My work is inspired by challenging life experiences and my bomb-proof will to not only survive but to thrive. Through dealing with trauma, I’ve learned that beauty can grow after violence. My search for beauty after violence has been key in staying connected with my soul and maintaining a peaceful heart. Writing, photography, and adventuring in the outdoors have been part of my toolbox for many years. Abstract art has been a fabulously exciting recent addition. Check out my blog posts for details. Please support me by sharing the posts you enjoy.
On this International Women’s Day, I celebrate with a painting and a poem depicting the bear goddess Artiû in her dreamscape.
She sits still
In her dream,
The bear goddess,
Artiû.
Birthing hope
Within bubbles
Of sparkles
and dust.
The sun rests
In her heart
And thrives
In her soul.
She is Artiû,
Mother of wild things,
Lover and creator,
She is you.
