About Me

CURRENT MISSION

embrace my new life in Fez, learn Arabic, paint pictures

ABOUT ME

I was born in Canada but brought up in Brazil,the Caribbean and the Middle East, then I lived in London for years where I had my son, before working in China and Brazil. I love my adopted hometown of Penzance in the summer, it's a real nature paradise so come and check out the beautiful beaches. I'm interested in sacred dance and music of the west african diaspora which is why I'm revisiting Morocco and Cuba. I'll have my sketchbook under my arm and maybe a surfboard. Looking forward to meeting other sofasurfers and hearing their tales

PHILOSOPHY

the truth will set you free
