Meet the Artist
What started as a hobby to keep me sane while raising two daughters has evolved into stocking multiple Vancouver Island shops, woodburning workshops in Shawnigan Lake and many endless personalized gifts sent around the world.
Inspired by the West Coast forests and the rugged shorelines of Vancouver Island, I like to meld the two into my rustic burnings. What I've learned while teaching and sharing the skills I've picked up is that most people have no idea how slow this art form can be. It requires a lot of patience and many hours to create a completed piece. If you're interested in learning more take a look at my workshops section for upcoming dates.
