About Me
I've written stories and poetry most of my life and then abandoned it in early adulthood as life became much busier. Over the past few years, some big life events caused me to take up my pen and paper again to help me process and express what I was feeling and experiencing. Since returning to the art, my poetry has been widely published and my fiction novella has been released on Amazon and Audible (but more on all that under the 'My Book' tab). I am a member of several haiku organizations and the Oceanside Community Art Council. My haiku is being recorded in the Living Haiku Anthology and The Haiku Foundation's registry.
I lead an interactive haiku workshop at Vancouver's Sakura Days Japan Fair where I enjoy sharing my love of poetry with others, and my heart through my poetry spoken-word performances. I love bringing all my interests together by combining poetry with storytelling and visual art through film, photography, sumi-e painting, and whatever else I can discover!
Whether you encounter my poetry in print, performance, or visual art, I hope it meets you with compassion and leaves you feeling a little bit less alone as you continue on in your life path.
My inspiration comes from nature, the human experience, my Christian faith, and my son!
