paint with beeswax, heat, & fire!

Encaustic painting is an art form like no other.  Layers of luscious, oil tinted beeswax fused together with heat and flame.  From original art,  classes, supplies, DIY kits, coaching for creatives, and online learning, there is something for everyone.  Be the first to know!

brand new online learning!

online monthly learning through patreon

One of the things that I love most about teaching encaustics, is the ongoing connection and relationship to my students.  When I was looking into online learning options, I wanted something a little different from the traditional online course model.  I wanted a platform where I could not just teach technique but really support people's creative journey on an ongoing basis. Then I discovered Patreon.  Rather than a one time course, Patreon is a monthly subscription where I hope to feed your curiosity, get your creative juices flowing, and provide a space where you can nurture your own creative practice. 


Starting at only $5 a month, there are 3 tier options allowing you to choose your level of engagement from adding a little extra creativity in your life, to diving deep into encaustic painting, to starting your journey as a creative entrepreneur.  


Thanks so much for your support.  I can't wait to see you there!

about me

I began my career as an artist in my late 20's while working for a Restorative Justice non-profit.  My role was to assist women as they made the difficult transition from Federal Prison to the community.  I ran a weekly social recreational based program inside of the prison that had a strong arts component.  It was through this roundabout way that I was introduced to encaustic painting.   The moment I dipped my paintbrush into that first pot of wax, I knew that my life was about to change.   My love for encaustic painting has only grown since then and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to paint and teach throughout the province.  


In addition to working with women in prison, I have worked with at-risk youth, and have done planning and facilitation for adults with developmental differences.  I hold a 4 year Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminology and English, with a minor in Psychology from St. Thomas University.  I have a Certificate in Conflict Management and Mediation from Conrad Grabel University College as well as a Certificate in Trauma Counselling for Front Line Workers from the Hinks-Dellcrest Institute.  I am trained in Peacemaking Circles and in Person-Centered Planning (PATH & MAPS)


My true passion is community building and program development with a focus on inclusion, accessibility, and capacity building.  I am always open to hearing your ideas on new partnerships and looking for ways to engage with the community.  Please feel welcome to come and visit me at my studio, The Hive.


In addition to The Hive, my encaustic work can be found at The Georgian Artisan Shop (Thornbury) and Hamel Brooms (St. Jacobs),  I am also a lover of all things local, handcrafted, and interesting.  I love meeting other artists and craftspeople, sampling local cuisine and craft beer, and exploring breweries, wineries, shops, studios, and galleries!
