Moved to Canada in 1999 - 10 year involvement which covered working with musicians/dancers, teaching at retreats,. Executive Director of a major gallery.

Moved to (retired ha! ha!) Panama. This is where I became fascinated with flora and fauna and the effects of shadows.

Eventually returned to earth in the UK and the quaint historic island of Portland where I still reside!.
