Hi! Nice to meet you. If you were stopping in to say hi at my house, I'd make you a nice strong cup of black tea and invite you to sit on the porch and chat a while :-) But this space will do for now . . .

I'm a British artist and author living and working in the beautiful St. Croix River Valley of Minnesota, USA since 2006. I'm a painter, therapeutic art instructor, author, speaker, special needs mom but most importantly, I am God's beloved child. Anything I do comes from that secure attachment to my Father God.

My fascination with brains and how they can help us in our faith experience started when I undertook postgraduate studies in learning difficulties in order to help my autistic son. Later I went on to be certified in Art & Creativity For Healing, a unique therapeutic art process that I use to help people connect with emotions, process trauma, grief, and to connect intimately with God.

The great passion of my life is to help others experientially know God. I have mentored and ministered to people for over 40 years and find great joy in seeing lives transformed. I love to pass on the practices and knowledge developed over many years in an accessible and non-threatening way. Whether in my studio, at churches, or hosting workshops and retreats, my goal is to create a safe space where people can feel at ease, be seen and heard, and therefore be helped to explore the deeper places of their hearts, hurts, and everyday lives.

What else can I tell you? My husband and I met at university and have been married for 35 years. We have two adult sons and a feisty Jack Russell Terrier called Rosie. We love being outdoors and on water, or in the summer hanging out on the front porch in a hammock or a rocking chair reading or simply enjoying home.

I hope you will be helped by my latest book "Awakening Whole Brain Faith."

Find your way back home. Your Abba is waiting with open arms and a smile on His face.
