I am an Artist.
I paint & draw, dance & sing, drum & act.
While at art college I took a rand●m dance impr●v workshop, and l●ved it! And so began my love affair with theatre. I knew that I wanted to be creating with other pe●ple, working within ensembles and c●mmunities. And I knew that my artistic expression was on stage - m●ving, dancing, acting, being.
I have been performing for ●ver 37 years in Canada, Bermuda, The Czech Republic, West Africa and New Y●rk City, on stage, in film and television.

Both art and our lives are faithful expressions of what is in our hearts." Daisaku Ikeda
