Although I'm up for a variety of projects,
community based and participation driven projects really get me
motivated. I want to enhance the music, art and culture in my community
and nation-wide. I believe my projects reflect these objectives.

PROJECTS |
London Women's Artist Collective
Founded in Spring of 2006 by a group of local women,
LWAC has evolved into a collective of over 70 members.
We have workshops, events, showcases and a lot of fun!
I have created a web site and business card for LWAC, as
well as taken on an key role in keeping the collective alive
(administrative/organizational). Joining the
collective is a free way to learn new skills and enhance
the community while meeting new people with similar interests.

City Farming Project
Production of this documentary began in the Spring of
2006. I was the camera woman, editor and animator
for the film. The premiere is going to be held at the London
Central Library at 2PM on Sunday March 11th.

Calendars
I have created beautiful accurate 13 month calendars
for the year 2007, featuring my photography of picturesque
Ontario. Calendars include moon phases, birthstone and flower
info, holidays and image description. To pre-order a 2008
version of this calendar click the title above.

Global Survival
I've teamed up with Toronto activist Chai Kavelar to
redesign the existing Global Survival site of his. With
a little design, new graphics, more of Chai's poems and
some additional articles and links, http://www.globalsurvival.ca
has become an excellent alternative media source.

TREA
Thames Regional Ecological Association
Creation of a 20 minute DVD promotional
video, encouraging community participation in the Commuter
Challege and other alternative transportation practices.
I also worked on the poster/flyer and t-shirts for the event.
Get active and leave your car at home.

green~space
I've been inspired to create a source for information
for sustainable living practices. The site is in it's infancy,
so there is not much content yet, I've just done the design.
Soon it will have information on housing, food, energy and
transportation - and how we can make simple lifestyle changes
to live with the earth instead of against it.
Please let me know if you like the design and what you think
should be included on the site. I could use some writers.
Contact me
if interested in participating.

The Variables
The variables are a group of media specialists who have
joined forces to expose their talents.

Alternative University Listserve
I recently found myself involved in an e-mail group
created to facilitate the creation of a university focused
on social justice and environmental awareness in Canada.
I've designed a few pages to outline our mission.
Definitely check it out if you're interested in affordable
and valuable education.

Another past project was to design a new web site for
London Activist Network. LAN brings together concerned Londoners
to organize events and spread the word about important issues.
Membership is free and the knowledge gained is priceless.
Let me know what you think of the new design.

informed of all the music culture happenings. User forum,
reviews, promotions and so much more. Always something new
to hear about! |

..::Spectacular Sunbeams::..
This photo was taken New Year's Day in my parent's
woods with the sun streaming through the branches

..::Mysterious Woods::..
This picture is creepy and beautiful at the same
time.

..::Blades of Ice::..
After the icy storm in January every blade of
grass was coated in a icy shield. The grass snapped in half
beneath your feet.

..::Chilly Coating::..
Everything had that icy coat.
These seeds hanging from a tree were no exception.
Any questions or comments about my photography?
I do live concert photography, weddings and
photo restoration as well.
Great Rates, Professional Service!
