I am a creative editor, lifestyle & mixed media artist, surface designer, & writer who has been lecturing & teaching art classes for thirty years. I write on a variety of topics from art, mixed media, green crafts & small art businesses. My articles have been in Creative Scrapbooker magazine, Creating Keepsakes, Bella Crafts,Canadian Living, Cloth Paper Scissors & more. I design products such as ink, fabric, stencils, stamps, paper, clothing, and household products. I have co-branded with several companies which I adore such as Unity Stamp Company, the Rhonna Designs phone app, Clearsnap Ink, PolkaDoodles UK, & A Jillian Vance Design. I am a trained educator for many wonderful art & crafts manufactures. I attended the University of Alberta. Cancer entered my life and I learnt to practice what I preach...Art & colour is so healing, necessary & good for the soul, heart & mind. Spreading this message mean much to me and I often teach & lecture about it. I have been blessed to do so all around North America. Photography is another art form that I enjoy doing and use in my pieces. I enjoy nature & find beauty in the simple things in life & love to live life to its fullest and share this with all around me.
