F<\/span>or the past twenty years, I’ve enjoyed sharing the stories of Atlantic Canada and its people through my articles and photos, which have been published in regional, national and international newspapers, magazines and other special publications. My areas of interest are conservation, nature, people profiles, and our relationship to place. I’ve explored topics that range from peregrine falcons and shorebirds to caribou and salmon, from bakers and woodcarvers to taxidermists and fisherwomen.<\/p>\nHere are a few examples of my work:<\/p>\n

“This story is a gift with many layers. All are connected yet each layer has its own raison d’ \u00eatre. The writer also combines strong narrative elements from using vivid scenes and metaphor, to incorporating dabs of dialogue and personal insights. As a reader, I came away with a larger heart. ” (Judge Sandra Phinney)<\/em><\/p>\n
