I am an artist, a writer and a student. I obtained my B.A. in English
from University of Victoria (Victoria, B.C. Canada) and attempted my masters
at Dalhousie University (Halifax N.S. Canada) but was thwarted by a major
depressive episode. I am currently studying fine arts at North Island College
(Courtenay B.C. Canada) and plan to pursue a career in art therapy.
My major literary influences are Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Douglas
Adams, and Dr.Seuss. My major artistic influence is Odilon Redon.

The images on this site are all over six months old and really represent
a phase in my work that is ended. I am keeping this site online primarily
as an archive of my former work which is still very interesting, and because
it has really cool pictures of my cats.
To view my current work please click on the image below and visit The
Vortex!
The artwork on this site represents many of the defininitions of myself
I have dealt with in the past, primarily that of the "Mad Artist". . .
while I have decided to forgo these definitions in favor of the ones I
have created for myself in The Vortex, I still like to play around with
these ideas so there will be new work on this site in time. . .as it is
it is a very strong record of my past work and displays the roots of my
current artistic movement.

Please do not confuse "The Vortex Collection" on this site with my newer
work on "The Vortex" site. The Vortex Collection are a number of
poems which I wrote about five years ago in my last year at UVic.
They were inspired by my classes, by Star Trek and by a group of friends
called The Vortex Collective which I belonged to at the time. My
current Vortex work is very much inspired by this time in my past - hence
the use of the name The Vortex Collective to define the new species I create
on my Vortex website (I think the poem titled "If I Were A Q" is a direct
precursor to The Vortex).
I hope you enjoy your visit to my site. Please take a moment
to sign my guestbook before you leave - your comments would be very much
appreciated:
