I was born and raised in Regina Saskatchewan - the fourth of six children and the eldest of the daughters.
My musical interest began as a youngster playing the spoons along side my dad who was a self taught accordian player. It expanded to an interest in the church choir and then to playing the flute in the school band. As the years progressed, and with the help of my brother Garth, I learned to play the 12 string accoustical guitar. In 1981, I wrote a song for the International Year of the Disabled Persons, which was purchased for the use of radio and television commercials. In 2008, I became a member of both the Folk Music Club and the Medicine Hat & District Live Music Club. I then turned my attention to songwriting shortly after that. I have had the opportunity to showcase much of my own material, at various local businesses and community functions, like the Patio Cafe, the Inspire Cafe - both downtown, the Cocoa Bean - Redcliff, Starbucks on Strachan, most recently the Squires Pub and various other locations. 'The boys and I' had the opportunity to perform at the Grand Opening for Paterson Grain, in Glechien, AB, Last October, I joined up with two other songwriters, Eileen Wotschell and Ali Selin. We are 'three ladies with three guitars', known as ‘Trillium’. Together we performed at the LMC Western Music Concert in 2011 + 2012 and have performed in Bow Island, Hanna, and other local venues around town. I continue to provide music where I can and have volunteerd my talents at many local non-profit Organization fundraisers. In Dec 2013, the boys and I recorded a 17 song 'live' demo CD at Absynthe studio in Medicien Hat. It is available for $10 a cd.
