Born and raised in London, England, Patricia loves film, art,
literature and architecture. She has lived and worked in many countries
and has completed film and fine art studies in Vancouver. Patricia has
narrated documentary films, and interviewed several well known
novelists, including crime writer Michael Connelly (The Poet) and
Arthur Golden (Memoirs of a Geisha). In a perfect world, she would love
to have visited, or better still, been a part of, Gertrudes Stein's
Paris salon with Hemingway, Picasso, Marcel Duchamp and F. Scott
Fitzgerald dropping by.

Darren was born in Chilliwack where his parents exposed him to diverse
forms of art from a very young age. At the age of 18, he moved to Montreal
where he completed a degree in Marketing at Concordia University. Studying
the way that people think and behave always intrigued him. He enjoys
seeing how artists transpose these thoughts into their own personal
forms of expression. Living in Montreal for over 15 years allowed him
to be immersed in the rich culture that a bilingual speaking city offered.
Back in Vancouver, he enjoys the culture and art that the West Coast
brings.

Jason
is a West Coast boy at heart, with salt flowing through his veins. Growing
up on Vancouver Island, when he wasn't writing short stories and making
radio plays as a kid he was skipping rocks at the beach or biking with
the bears. A writer and creative at heart, he recently took on a book
project highlighting wood architecture and design in British Columbia,
a passion project of his decades-long career in marketing and communications.
He often forgets that he earned a master’s degree from Syracuse’s
Newhouse School of Public Communications that he will one day get around
to hanging on his wall. When he’s not working, he dabbles in comedy
writing, stand-up, photography and is always keen to take in arts and
culture throughout the city. He enjoys bike rides along the sea wall,
effortlessly dodging innocent tourists at every turn.

reviews The Cultch: Little
Red Warrior and his Lawyer
Nancie was born in St. Catharines, Ontario but has lived all but 5 years
in Vancouver. Growing up she was attracted to the arts, particularly
theatre and dance and has continued to enjoy live theatre and dance
productions as well as being an avid art gallery goer throughout her
life. A degree in Canadian Studies enhanced her love of Canadian culture.
Opening and running a gardening gift shop for 10 years in Vancouver
was an achievement of a long held dream and allowed her to source and
feature Canadian artisans from across Canada and indulge a love of artistic
expression. Writing for Review Vancouver since 2011 has brought the
love of theatre, dance, artistic expression and Canadian culture together
and gives access to the vibrant cultural scene in Vancouver.

Christian's long-time passion has been contact and immersion with
various cultures and their artistic traditions. His professional career
began as a community development advocate for New Canadians in the
1970s. From there, his interest in arts and culture took him to life in
Arctic Canada, where he taught for five years, and became an avid
collector of Inuit art. He has also taught in China and Qatar, and has
traveled extensively in Africa, South America and various other parts
of the world. From his childhood, Christian has been interested in
theatre, art and artistic performance, and enjoys the cultural scene
wherever his travels take him. He presently teaches college prep
English at Capilano University.
