Colleen Stevenson's Background


My parents got me into drawing as a young child  to keep me quiet during church! I never learned to keep quiet or attend church but I have been doodling ever since.

My formal education includes:


       a BA in philosophy from Queen's University

      Montessori elementary training with Irma Rodrigues, Victoria BC

      Permaculture design at Bullocks Permaculture homestead, WA

I have been extremely fortunate to have had a rich and varied working life. I have been a gourmet cook, an organic micro-farmer in Metchosin, BC, a special needs tutor, a writer about west coast native plants, a homeschooling mama and a Montessori teacher trainer in Ghana, West Africa.


Currently, I live downtown Victoria, BC, Canada with my beautiful family, our edible backyard and wee flock of chickens.
