About me

Introduction I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Moved to the United States and became an American citizen, living in California and Oregon. I presently live in Eastern Oregon with my husband, Jim, who owns a horse ranch in Mt. Vernon. I am a proud Mom of two grown daughters and a Nana to a wonderful grandson. Living in "God's Country", a term often referred to Grant County, gives me many photographic opportunities because of the uniqueness of the country. I have developed my own line of greeting cards, incorporating my photos. It is called "CQ West Wind... true life. I try to use my photography to visually tell a story depicting true life.

When your science teacher smashed a frozen rose with a hammer, did you warm the petals to bring them back to life?

As far as warming rose petals to bring them back to life... that is a nice thought. However, our local winemaker in Mt. Vernon makes a delicious wine out of rose petals which is exquisite in taste and delightful to drink. My other favorite tastes are a strawberry flavored jelly bean, chocolate covered sea-foam candy, bacon, popcorn smothered in butter, sweet watermelon.
