I live for the outdoors and backcountry adventures. I believe in music making, dance, fibre arts, writing, photography, comics, illustrations, and sometimes unicorns. For 10 months of the year I am an outdoor educator for 4 to 7 year olds who are my co-conspirators and inspirations for stories and illustrations. For 2 months of the year I get to play outside and spend time creating stories!  My favourite day of the year is “snow day”, when everything shuts down and you can play in the cold or hide inside with hot chocolate.ARA for SCBWI Canada West since September 2019Based on Vancouver Island
