Communications for DRUHC
I have been working with the Durham Region Unemployed Help Centre (DRUHC) for more than a decade.

In 2023, 10,000 Job Seeker magazines were printed and distributed throughout the Durham Region. Visit the DRUHC website.

Gifts of Nature – a blog by me
When I began my career as an artist more than 20 years ago, the process and materials were far from natural. Creating with natural materials helps me to connect with myself and with nature. Learn about some of the benefits of working with natural materials
Circle Back to Nature
Connect to nature and yourself. Go on a calming journey and re-discover the power of intention and creativity. Take home a unique and meaningful art piece made with natural materials. Interested in gathering a group of friends or colleagues? Connect with me. View the Circle Back to Nature Workshop video – facilitated at the The Robert McLaughlin Gallery .
UOIT Capstone Project
A UOIT Capstone project by Faculty of Business and Information Technology students helped the Durham Region Unemployed Help Centre develop a new, interactive youth-oriented employment game called emplay. I was delighted to be part of the team! “emplay” was nominated for a $5000 Capstone award and was praised from an educational and technological perspective at “Level Up 2013”. Learn more.
