I have created art since childhood, One of my kindergarten teachers recognized my abilities and arranged for me to attend the children's Saturday art program at the Vancouver School of Art, now the Emily Carr School of Art. Throughout elementay school, I had classes in drawing, painting, printmaking, photography and film animation.
This foundation in artwork was useful in my career as a speech-language pathologist, as I was able to create visual aids and illustrations for communication therapy purposes.
