When I came to Vancouver in 1992.  I saw a lot of totem poles and masks, and I loved it. I loved it so much that I took a woodcarving class to be able to do my own. Since then, I have been inspired by the human body, by some simple, elegante lines that I draw on paper or by a photograph that talk to me.

Quand je suis arrivee a Vancouver en 1992, J'ai vu beaucoup de totems  et de masks qui ont ete sculpte par les natifs de la cote west. J'ai vraiment ete inspire par ce que j'ai vu et j'ai pris un cours de sculpture sur bois pour pouvoir faire mes propres sculptures. Maintenant mon inspiration vient du corps humain, d'une simple et elegante ligne dessinee sur papier ou d'une photographie.
