The farmhouse was always shining with the sounds of the piano, accordian, harmonica, and the voices of my family singing. Eight brothers and sisters, and my mother and father, Florence and Warren. All of them taught me to love music. |

The memories of my youth are a tremendous source of inspiration and strength for me. |

In 1995, my life drastically altered. My body was being plagued by constant, debilitating pain. I couldn’t hold a paint brush or play the piano. I couldn't find the strength to get out of bed. |

After many visits to many doctors, finally, the cause was found: there was a cancerous tumour on my spinal cord. The surgery to remove it carried tremendous risk. So did doing nothing. The possibility of handicap and death became very real to me. |

After a long and difficult recovery and rehabilitation process, I emerged alive, healthy, driven. I have never stopped and I have never looked back. |

| A bang and the sound of glass breaking. |
I was inspired to rethink my artistic process when my patio table blew over in the wind and smashed into thousands of pieces. The shards were the most beautiful pale green. |
So began my new direction. I took another look at the things I was throwing away and saw such potential: egg cartons, tin cans, fudgesicle sticks, batteries, coffee grinds, computer parts, flooring tile; everything. |
I take objects deemed ‘useless’ and give them new breath. They are transformed into unique, ecologically thoughtful works of art. |
