Mettez-vous sur la carte

I am a Winnipeg-based artist, permaculture gardener, mother and community advocate. My art and nature walks have become my haven and refuge amidst a world of turmoil and instability. The earth reaches out to me as friend and teacher. It is here, with the wild weeds that I have discovered resilience and healing. My current work explores the colours and textures of foraged, hand-made plant and stone-based inks and paints. As I continue to work with these elusive, evolving materials I learn about place, about subtle eco-systems and the myriad uses of our ally plants.
I have been working as a community artist over the past 13 years. With experience facilitating groups of all ages in community centres, homeschool groups and home art parties, bringing my passion for the creative process to others is very natural for me.

Exploratory Workshop

This was a two hour exploratory workshop held at the DIY Homesteader Festival, 2019. Children were given an intro into the wild, colourful plants that make beautiful paint colours and how natural pigments have been around for a long time. Children from ages 3-12 were given paper, brushes and paint to explore the page. They used grapevine charcoal and lemon juice and salt to add texture and alter the ph balance/colours of the paints. Both parents and children were amazed at the variety of colours and the movement away from toxic materials.
