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.

Born and raised in Newcastle, England, Eve is new to Vancouver. Last
year she completed the Creative Writing MA at Royal Holloway University
and is now working on her first novel. She has short fiction published
in various magazines, and was twice short-listed for the Bridport International
Prize. Living in London last year, she loved her theatre review post
and is excited to continue reviewing in Vancouver and learning about
Canada’s diverse culture through its arts. Generally, Eve is happiest
when creating (fiction, clothes, jewellery, paintings), walking her
dogs on the beach, and reading a good book. Oh, and eating of course.

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.
