Born in 1952, Marion Wyse [梅琳] has been writing and painting since -
in a Toronto Beaches home - she could hold a pencil. This became her
favoured way of imaging life as observed and experienced. As an adult
she meandered along a winding path, balancing religious history
studies amidst academic cloisters with administrative work in Canada's
business community. Along the way she married twice and learned
valuable lessons on how not to interact with others. By 1998, she had
achieved both her doctorate and the position of general manager in an
international trading company.
Wanting more challenges, she started an ongoing migration as itinerate
professor: Xiamen and Dalian universities in China, Moscow University
Touro in Russia, and a project in Kenya provide nests as she exchanges
life lessons with the Internet generation. An inveterate storyteller
and researcher, she uses this to assist in creative dialogue between
individuals and communities; to this end she set up the North Wind
Press website in 2006
