Natural History
GROWING UP WITH NATURE
|
Growing up across the street from a large forest and only a short walk to Burnaby Lake Park and a slightly longer walk to Deer Lake Park, I can say that nature influenced me at an early age. These were my playgrounds as a child. During the summers of my childhood, I fondly remember family camping trips to various provincial and federal parks throughout British Columbia and parts of Alberta, Canada. Having also lived in the town of Nelson, I used to explore the surrounding mountains and streams far into the wilderness in search of lost silver mines. My first job out of high school was working as a surveyor for a logging company, and later after attending art school, where I studied Fine Arts and also anthropology and archaeology, I took an archaeology field school course and ended up working as an archaeologist/field artist for four years. Today I live 10-minutes from mountains, forests, streams, and lakes. Travel down my street, turn north at any number of forested roadways and you will find yourself in an untamed, rugged wilderness.
