Vanessa Henderkien Wright

Vanessa Henderkien Wright, a First Generation Canadian on her maternal side, (who originated from the Netherlands) spent most of her formative school years in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan. A wonderful assortment of life experiences in Motown emboldened her soul. Creative roots flowing naturally on all sides, with a colorful family comprised of artists, musicians and storytellers... expression in writing and performance were an inherent trait. Vanessa spent time in the fashion industry, becoming accustomed to lights and camera work, body movement, angles, expression and theatre. Theatrical performance and music emerged with her ongoing love for all things aesthetic. In her school years, she held a wistful poet's heart with much zeal for creative writing. Vanessa returned to Canada to settle on Vancouver Island, British Columbia where she earned a BA in Art History, with a minor in Literature. She had cultivated a developed passion for all-things-aesthetic. However, a fateful change in path came when Vanessa paired with her husband (Simon Norton Game, filmmaker) to collaborate their mutual passion for storytelling. It was then that she was able to step into her actualization of being a writer, a creative catalyst to focus on her ultimate passion into prose and pictures. A culmination of Vanessa's accomplishments within the arts and what her life has organically absorbed have evolved into dynamic roles: Writer, Producer, Art Director, and with volumes of character Vanessa embodies herself naturally as a performer.
