As an artist I work mostly in Mixed Media and Acrylics. I paint on canvas and paper and love to Art Journal.

WORKSHOP INFORMATION:

Art Therapy Workshops are offered for groups: organizations, associations, educational facilities. These workshops are tailored to the individual requests. See below for examples of recent workshops. For further information please contact me through my website.

Art Journaling is my safe place to let loose and play with art materials and techniques and a way to document my journey as an artist, art therapist, and female citizen of the world! 6 week Art Journalling courses are taught both in my studio and through the Coast Collective Gallery in Colwood, BC.  Please contact me for further information.
