Bringing it all together on the page...in words and illustrations.

I'm always looking at everything; listening for unusual sounds, interesting words; following narrow paths, gravel roads; connecting things in unusual ways. These days, I'm fascinated by our relationship with food, inspired in part, by my food forester friend Richard. He introduced me to growing food in a thoughtful relationship with natural systems, even welcoming invasive vegetation. He recognizes that 'invasives' survive and thrive in the increasingly hostile world we've created. I'm also fascinated by folks who hesitate to shop at our local Farmer's Market or our excellent locally sourced and low waste stores because..."their food is too expensive!" Is it too expensive? By what measure? I want to know! Perhaps it's the "local isn't really food" syndrome. I want to investigate our local food hesitancy and local food suppliers...all the whys, whats and why nots of the local food industry as it becomes increasingly important. Why? Because growing conditions are changing and supply chains are collapsing. I want to invite my readers to walk with me as we visit nearby farms, farmer's markets, local food outlets...to know the people who are willing to work eighteen hour days in all kinds of weather to provide our food. I want to share the sweet tasting produce from those who are attempting to save the world, one lettuce at a time.

You're hitting the market (pun intended) as increasing numbers of people in Canada & USA are turning to locally-grown foods. I love farmers' markets.
Best of luck!
