For many artists, even saying the words aloud 'I am an artist' can trigger an intense emotional response. It takes courage to learn something new, and even more courage to share a part of yourself with the world.

A Little about me
my creative journey
I did not begin my career as an artist. As a child my mother and grandmother spent countless hours with me painting, sewing, and knitting but when I began elementary school I was taught that if I couldn't draw, the arts were not for me. It was not until my mid 20's that I was re-introduced to my own creative practice. I am now a full time working artist.
Prior to my plunge into the arts, I spent many years working with some of the most vulnerable in our society. I have worked with women planning their release from federal custody, youth as they prepared to leave the shelter system, individuals with developmental differences looking to find their place in community, and women who are survivors of abuse and trauma embark on their healing journey. No matter who I was working with or what the circumstances, I knew these things to be true; there is great power in community, people are the experts of their own lives, and it is important to focus on a persons strengths rather than their weaknesses.
These are the principles that guide me today as I work with people who are finding and exploring their creativity for the first time, and with artists who are looking to grow their practice and embark on the journey of creative entrepreneurship. I work with artists at all stages of their journey and understand that everyone is going to have goals and aspirations unique to them.
If you are an organization and wanting to know more about how I might be able to help you, here's a little more information: I hold 4 year BA, a Certificate in Trauma counselling for front line workers, as well as a certificate in conflict management and mediation. I spent years working in the non-profit sector and have experience in program development and implementation, strategic planning, risk assessment, and volunteer management. I am trained in Peacemaking Circles and am interested in looking for innovative ways to help organizations move forward and find unique solutions to questions they might not even know that they have.
