About

Storytelling has been at the centre of my work for most of my life.

For more than thirty years I produced commercial, documentary, dramatic, and educational television across Canada—from major cities to remote communities in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and northern Indigenous communities.

Internationally I staged multimedia productions in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Guayaquil, Ecuador.

Along the way I received several honours, including the Women Business Owners of Manitoba Lifetime Achievement Award, an Aboriginal Women’s Recognition Award for promoting and preserving Indigenous cultures throughout Canada, and the Colorado Columbine Award for creating television that promotes alternatives to violent conflict resolution.

Today my focus is on writing and photography.

Writer

My current work includes the historical drama feature screenplay Dakota 1862: An Uncivil War, inspired by the memoir Six Weeks in the Sioux Tepees by Sarah Wakefield and the events surrounding the Dakota War of 1862.

I also write essays and stories exploring the people, landscapes, and moments behind my photographs.

Photographer

I’ve had a camera in my hands for more than fifty years. My work focuses primarily on the natural world—light, landscape, and the quiet details that often go unnoticed.
