When I was in grade three, my friend Myrtle said she wanted
to be a nurse when she grew up. I said I wanted to be an art teacher and a
library teacher, just like my hero, Miss Bachelor. 
Much to my surprise I ended up with a BA and MA from
UBC--quite a different education from Miss Bachelor’s. But it came to pass that after a couple
of roads not taken, my whole working life has been spent as a teacher of art,
library and/or English.

Art has always been a central interest. No matter what subject I happened to
teach, visual arts have always given a special direction to it. My work has been shown in public
galleries in Vancouver, Richmond, Maple Ridge, New Westminster and Williams
Lake. Most exhibitions were either
solo or shared with one other artist.
Since retiring I have not made submissions to show my work, but finally
think it is time to start doing this again.
