In my creative journey I formally studied Fine Art, Interior Design and European Faux Finishing for over 6 years. I developed my own painting style and marketed my work in galleries across Canada. For artists and for those who want to explore and experiment with a wide range of art materials I offer a comprehensive Collage Techniques course. The significant focus is on richly textured faux finishing methods in combination with printed paper and magazine collage.
Beyond technique, my teaching passionately emphasizes the mystery and the wisdom of the creative process. I rediscovered and deepened my intuitive creativity during my pregnancy and after my daughter was born 10 years ago. When she picked up a paintbrush at two with utter ease and with no attachment to results I recognized that the sheer joy and freedom of uninhibited self-expression could bring me back to the integrity of the core creative self that I was born with.
For busy adults who want to touch into their deeper truths The Collage Journal, Self-Portrait Collage and Self-Discovery Cards Workshops are an easy and immediate way to help you to explore your hidden feelings and desires. Uncensored creativity is a magical way to discover where we authentically fit into life and what our unique contribution is.
Collage for Healing provides a safe and joyful way to touch into the deeper wisdom within. Spontaneous creativity is a remarkable way to release and recognize the source of stressful emotions and to take an active role in your own healing, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
For non-artists and artists alike I invite you to experience the support of the Creative Circle. Learn how to create for the joy of exploration and discovery. After opening up to the mysteries and truths of authentic expression we extend our insights outward into the group with a sharing period at the end of each class. This provides the encouragement that many people need to bring more of their truth and authenticity into their everyday lives. |
