After a tumultuous past as a goat milker, laundress, fine art major, waitress and restaurant owner, I am now a mostly full time artist with brief breaks as a lodge receptionist in an effort to fake a social life. I live a ridiculously idyllic existence in a fairytale village called Bella Coola on the West Coast of British Columbia with my charming musician husband, two amazingly creative children, and a couple of dogs whose favourite past time is eating rotten dead fish and rolling in poo. In my not so spare time I love to invent healthy whole food recipes, write YA fiction, play guitar, or curl up in my favourite chair with a great book and a gigantic mug of strong black coffee, all while daydreaming of living in Ireland...
