I love art. I love painting and creating. I always have and I always will. One of the most exciting things for me is to see that excitement, that fire come to life in others. I have been fortunate, Art has always been apart of my life. Creating started when I was wee, in my folks backyard armed with finger paints and sun dyes....(what was my Mom thinking!) I jest...She was igniting the passion of an artist.I was able to further my artist passion when I attended Emily Carr University.

I was so fortunate.

The CDMF was started in 1953 on the suggestion of Beryl MacLeod (Founder). At that time the students were participating in the Kiwanis Festival in Vancouver.

Beryl suggested, 'Let's put Port Coquitlam on the map and start our own festival'.
