​

I am inspired by my grandmother who was filled with kindness for others and found time in her busy life to feed her creative spirit through activities like painting and card making.

My Journey to Now
I grew up in Chester where I explored creative opportunities in a variety of ways.  I loved art class in high school which introduced me to a variety of mediums and techniques. 
I lived in Calgary for 8 years where I began my experience in the social service field caring for and supporting others.  During this time I worked mainly with youth and families. 
I later returned and settled in Lunenburg where I continued to work in the social services with women and youth.  I also began to reintroduce creative art into my life. 
I am currently creating meaningful and inspiring opportunities for individuals through my Therapeutic Art Practice.
