"Warm vocals and jazzy delivery, singing melodic folk-tinged tunes" (Kerry Doole)

She released the albums Siren and Overflowing, both gaining airplay on radio.  Her third album River of Light creates a soundscape of love, community and connection. It's about the places we visit and how they light up our soul.  Inspired by sojourns to Cortes Island BC, Vancouver Island, and lakes in Algonquin Park, the album centres on elements of water and fire.   The album creates a soundscape of love, community and connection, To the River is dedicated to the waterwalkers, Raven is about vulnerability and listening to our soul, while  Mermaid is about loving someone who is your opposite and finding a way to make it work.  "I am salt and waves and tears, you are earth and fire and all the years. I am ocean, you are shore."
