I am a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design University and the Transpersonal Therapy Centre, both located in Toronto, Canada. I work full-time as a fine artist and psychotherapist from my home in Ajax, Ontario. I have had 30 solo art exhibitions and been involved in more than 40 group shows. I teach art to three levels of children in a local recreation centre as well as in projects as an artist in the school at regional public schools. I have been meditating daily for the past sixteen years and attend silent meditation retreats on an ongoing basis.
