Activist Aspirations
Political Leaning
Religions Art, First Nations beliefs/values, Spiritual  
Eating Habits Primarily Organic Plant Based  
Wild Fact About Me I have spent more than 20 years, at times 70 to 90 hours a week, working on one piece of art; and have cashed in all my retirement savings, investments and remortgaged my house three times to see the artwork come to fruition.
My Philosophy Show compassion and care. Do the right thing. Persevere.
What Gives Me Hope That there is so much good in the world. Having seen the wonder of the human spirit to rise above adversity.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by Find ways to support parents in their important role of raising and looking after children.

Work to create awareness that the pain of child abuse is at the root of many social problems and the psychosocial dysfunctions that costs billions of dollars a year to unattended.
What/who changed my life and why A guide visited me in a white light experience in cardiac surgery. The guide told me the greatest gift my parents gave me was the extent and severity of abuse they inflicted. It led to the breadth of my wisdom and depth of my compassion. A circle of elders followed in the white light and told me it was time for me to join the circle of elders and use my compassion and wisdom in healing. My art, clinical work and my relationship to self and others have been profoundly impacted by this white light experience.
