I live in beautiful Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada, and work in nearby  downtown Vancouver.  I happily claim a little corner in an animation studio, where I have somehow managed to get paid to draw and colour children’s cartoons since 2011.

I have also been lucky enough to start illustrating (and writing!) kids books, and it has quickly become my new passion. When I’m not drawing, I enjoy hiking around BC, biking, jogging and staying up late sharing cups of (perhaps too strong) coffee.

I also love to have conversations about faith & LGBTQ issues, classic Hitchcock films, and why the latest Tim Horton’s commercial makes me cry with joy. “Aww, the dad DID come to his soccer game!”

I am fascinated by life and all that surrounds us. I believe there is beauty in everyone, life is too short to waste, and even a smidgen of kindness can go a long way.

“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
