Do you recognize or have relationships with any plants that grow around us? I’m currently energized by hosting a Community Guild with Earthand Gleaners where we are investigating micro-local seasonal wild foods: ways to recognize, harvest, enjoy, and preserve these gifts for ourselves and others. We share the foragers ethical code, which means we take…
Bird Language

Cedar Bones in quarantine
I’ve created a new series that I am excited to share with you. I have been exploring local forests these last two months…. We leave our house directly and proceed to forests by foot or bike. I have been surprised to find many many giant stumps, mostly along the north sides of steep forested slopes….

I love deadlines…
except when they fail. My digital archive of all paintings from the last 15 years has lost all its content in the last 5 days! This makes it very hard to show people that I am in fact a good painter. Between 2003 and 2010 I had many big shows of 20 paintings per show,…

my heart is full of gratitude! The Sun comes to us, giving rise to all life. We are a result of the Suns energy. We are mostly fooled, thinking we are separate from the sun but really how can we be? If you are like me -that is living in the North- now we are…

What can we do?
This is my story of a small gift which I offer into the world. It holds love, hope and our fierce belief in a better way. The fossil-fuel-industrial-complex is a hungry and relentless bully, and it currently wants more and more and more of the river valley I live in. So the Fraser Valley has…
