Building upon a richly varied experience, I am moving forward and growing through new endeavours. It's my renaissance: a renewal that involves giving back through head, hands and heart while expanding my creative endeavours.
Those familiar with my history have asked what I am up to. This page and its links provide some insight.
My work is increasingly focused on transformative outcomes in community. With partner Rob Tornack, I am Co-Lead of the Oaklands Rise Woonerf (ORW) initiative, now in its seventh year. Thanks to Carol Sherwood for this 10 minute video short. As of 2004, I serve as Secretary, Greater Fernwood Art Stroll (FAS), growing the Oaklands cluster and positioning contact management for opportunities the FAS may build upon in the future.
Why IRMS, and what is IRM?
I closed our Hong Kong registered firm some years back, retaining the IRMS domain as one of several I run. While the Hong Kong and Bangkok offices are closed, I am available as a sole proprietor under my own name under the IRMS banner.
The shift from "information resource management" to "insight, rigour, meaning" feels right as a representation of the values that have always guided my activities. They apply equally to my work in art; writing; community building; interests as a housing provider; educator; coach and consultant.

Returning to early years in creative writing and fine arts, I am enjoying exploration of ideas through essays and stories with a memoir underway. I find balance in fine arts where preferred media include pastel, ink and acrylic in paintings, monotype and sculptural forms. Studio hours and workshops by arrangement.
