Thoughts about art and community:

Coming from a mixed background and having majored in textiles, art influences me. As a Professional Weaver, Fibre-to-Fabric Artist and a self-taught jewelry artist, I work with hand-blown Glass, Semi-precious Stones Terracotta, Re-worked Vintage, Brass, Wood, Surgical and Brushed Steel, Silver, 14 KT Gold-plating, Leather & other applications.

Toronto is a wonderful city with varied cultures and traditions forming a HUGE melting pot. Without accessibility to the arts, a person is not a complete individual. Community+Art are interconnected!

Here's to MORE Creativity!
