The opportunity for me to participate in Next Stage was very serendipitous. I was still riding the high of submitting my dissertation while, at the same time, experiencing a kind of muted postdoctoral PTSD.

I love to paint.  I love bringing ideas to life on canvas through colour, pattern, movement and light.   However, lately I’ve been challenging myself to move into new territory – to loosen up, take more risks, and let things emerge rather than arrive at a predetermined destination.
