About Me
Born in Vancouver, I have spent my entire life involved in the performing arts, here in BC playing violin in the Victoria Symphony and working for the Vancouver Recital Series, Vancouver Youth Orchestra, Vancouver Symphony and Courtenay Youth Music Centre.
In 1986 I moved to New York to take a position as Managerial Assistant at Columbia Artists Management Inc. working my way up to VP as I learned from the ground up the business of managing careers and producing international concert tours for celebrated artists and orchestras and ballet companies.
Today I’m a partner in ArtistManager.Net - Talented Websites for the Most Talented People in the World – with my husband Tom.
In 2008, I was asked by Peter Ladner, a leading environmentalist, to run for Vancouver City Council. I was defeated in that effort and again during a subsequent run in 2011.
In the fall of 2010, I co-founded the Vancouver Not Vegas! coalition with Lindsay Brown and Sandy Garossino at our first meeting in my living room, which evolved into the largest public opposition movement to any development in the city’s history.
I also served on the boards of the Vancouver Recital Society as VP and Chair of the Futures Committee; the Langley Community Music School as chair of a Strategic Task Force; as a founding Director of the False Creek Residents Association and of the Crosstown Residents Association, in addition to the Board of Trade membership marketing committee and a fundraising committee for Vancouver’s extraordinary Borealis String Quartet.
I was also Chair of my strata - Paris Place in the International Village – for two years and a founding Co-Captain of our local Neighbourhood Watch.
I continue on the boards of the False Creek Residents Association and Langley Community Music School.
I vote for Sean Bickerton for City Council! You’re an inspiration Sean. Happy to see this is moving along.
Sean is a honest and compassionate person who will be a great asset to Vancouver.
We are very proud of you!
Go, Sean, go!
I’m sure you will be a great addition to the NPA team and, after the November election, to the great city of Vancouver.
Sean:
So glad to have you back on the West Coast!
we think sean is a very capable person.
Hi Sean,
I’m writing to invite you to a fund-raising concert I have organised for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.
I have brought 5 dazzloing violininsts together, and formed a 25 piece string orchestra, of elite players made up of University and colege students and University gradustes.
It is calle JOY of MUSIC

This has been a labour of love for me, and it is very exciting! I hope you can be a part of it by attending the concert, and joining us afterwards to celebrate my 50th.
Look forward to hearing from you!

Saw you interviewed on noon-news Global today and did a double take – to jog your memory – UBC School of Music, late 70s or early 80s – I was the administrator – we shared an office for a while – thinking you were in NY all this time – glad to see you are back and successful here in the Lower Mainland. would love to hear from you – if you remember me!
))) perhaps you remember Isabel?
If you are going to run for City Council – are you planning to run for Vision or NPA?
Hi Camille,
I appreciate you asking, and hope to announce my plans in April. As to party, I don’t believe in ideology, which is why I’ve been a member of the Non-Partisan Association since September of 2008, and I remain a member in good standing today.
