After years of formal education and training in dance, followed by a very rewarding and successful period of performing, choreographing and presenting dance, my soul began to yearn for something more.  Perhaps something more challenging and complex, more integrated, layered, more personal and meaningful for me.

 

This realization was very profound for me.  It moved me out of a dance studio and into nature.  

 

I have always had a deep connection with the natual world and the elements, especially water.  I was born at the foot of the Canadian Rockies in Calgary, AB.  So much of my life has been enjoyed spending family time at Lake Minnewaka and in the hot springs of Banff, at the cottage in Kawartha Lakes or hiking the Niagara Escarpment near Niagara Falls, ON

 

In 2018, I was called to return home after many years of living and learning in Ontario.  This journey eventually moved me to the most western point in Canada all the way to Tofino, British Columbia.  The Pacific Ocean and the epic landscapes of this place, ingnited the wild in me.  It ultimately inspired the creation of my first interdisciplinary work, WAVE.
