About Me

My name is Johanne Marie; my friends usually call me Jo.

I was born and raised in Montréal Canada. I have travelled the whole of Canada, seen wonderful things that either the cities or the nature can offer. In my early 20’s I moved to Vancouver Canada where I stayed for over 10 years. I lived as a single mother but wasn’t.The father of my son was always away on some business trip, which left us, me and my son, alone for months in a city where I had no family or friends. Eventually I met a kindred spirit in Vancouver which eased the loneliness I felt living there.  Time passed and my mother came to visit me and my boy back in February 2006, little did we know that this visit was to be the last! She passed away little under a week from arriving. Again time, years passed and eventually my “imaginary” relationship to the father of my son ended, I had enough.

But throughout all the hardships one thing remained constant; I was drawing, painting, sewing or writing. I found myself through art! Unexpectedly through social network I met a man, a man to whom I was drawn to, only problem, he was on the other side of the world from me! He was in Norway! I couldn’t believe it; I fell in love with a man who happened to live in the country of my ancestors, what are the odds that I would be called home?!!
Eventually I took a chance in 2009, I left Vancouver and I went to Norway to meet this man. We have been together ever since!

So here you have it, a quick introduction which when you think about it can be summarized by:

Hi, I’m Jo, I am 40 years old mother of a soon to be 17 years old son; I am a woman, an orphan, a friend, a lover, a writer, an artist... I am a human being!
