Artemisia
A place to walk with trees

About Me
At least a fourth generation Texan, sired by a Canadian. I grew up in Texas, Louisiana and B. C. A creative autist and a grandfather of Welsh, Irish, German, Swedish and Texas Cherokee ancestry. My eldest son adds Chinese to our DNA and my younger son adds Filipino. I write because a blank sheet of paper has always been for me a space between cause and effect where dignity abides. I make physical and visual art when Spirit moves me. ARTEMISIA is the current home of my work. Walking many roads and sharing my medicine, I currently reside in Lillooet. It brings me joy to see i ts7ása úcwalmicw and skelkékla7 (young and old) dancing into post-Colonial reality with an enduring dignity and inherent grace. To all my relations: It is an honour to live among you in this powerful and magical place.

prithee heft thine avowéd birk
and bestow a safer Zen
