After art school and my BFA degree, I decided to earn a living by rolling beads from paper and jumped on the lucrative wearable art bandwagon. I did manage to have a piece in a group show each year.

A transformative time with two toddlers and three preteens in a blended family, then heading out on my own with a the two toddlers. Still managed to do art through it all. Started to do Art Heals workshops at the Mission Arts Center where I had my studio. Taught OK to B Us art classes to home schoolers.

These seven years were back in Waterloo Region where I had spent my childhood. I chose to return from the Pacific Northwest to reset a list family ties and have the youngest boys go to Rockway Mennonite School supported by family and church congregations. I attended Consestoga Small Business Venture Program and did many public performance pieces, group shows, community art and helped start The Bright Spot. (A place to support creative entrepreneurs)

The light parts in these works gleam with metal, and I scratch into the surface with original marks.

Prompting Starry Ai is an art in itself. It was easy to imagine that it was just another tool as I set the prompts for these images to share with you. I believe they will add a sense of wonder and you will see something more in them the more you live with the pieces.

Every time nature seems to pull my glance saying, “See me!” It seems to like to dazzle and sparkle. The negative space and colour seem to indicate another dimension peaking through the mundane. I seek to capture things no one has seen before.
