welcome to my site!

i am a writer and artist from Blyth, Ontario. i write for various publications across Canada including Christian Week, Faith Today, Adbusters, Geez, Focus on the Family, The Presbyterian Record and Living Light News. i am also in the process of having two novels published, and am working on my third. and when i'm not writing, i paint.

my husband, Trenton, is a math and science teacher. we live in a cute home in rural Ontario. together we help my father take care of my mother who has brain cancer, work with youth, and make wine.

i love to travel; last year trent and i taught english in Korea, and this past october i visited Australia.

i hope to share my freelance and artistic journey with you, to draw you into whatever writings or paintings i may be working on and to hopefully engage you in discussion.

writers are nothing without their readers.  painters are nothing without their viewers. so thank you for joining me on this adventure. i hope indeed to make words--and images--come to life before your eyes.

i will be updating this site frequently so please feel free to check back every once in awhile.

live purposely and peacefully, finding meaning through childlike eyes.

emily.
