I am a multidisciplinary artist working with sound as aย contemplative sonic mystic and music facilitatorย and visuallyย with mixed media fibre art.
What gives me joy is living authentically and creatively connecting with people by offering them space to explore their own growth.ย I want to accompany people as they discoverย their authenticย voices, cultivate their own creativity and innate truth so that they can live wholeheartedly. I facilitateย circles, fibre artย and creativity events to support those seeking personalย understanding, insight, creative sparking andย a connection to Source. I am a Holding Space Practitioner and facilitate using The Circle Way and hold a certificate in using sound as a healing modality. I use SoulCollageยฎ in my personal practise to understand myself and thrive.
I am a “big-sky” prairie girl originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I blog about my art process, spirituality, creativity, contemplative music, expressive arts and my other passion, thrift shopping.
Stuff I’ve done: facilitated drum circles, worked at an inner city mission, been a merchandizing display artist, sold sweaters for a Bolivian womenโs knitting co-op, volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, built stone labyrinths, sung, acted and built props for both amateur and professional theatre, worked as an interior redesigner/ organizer, and been a church musician. For nearly thirty years I helped my husband build his software firm which emerged from our own picture framing studio.
Music has always touched the very core of my being. Singing has been my connection to the Divine Presence throughout my life, a way of joining matter and spirit. I am passionate about empowerment via vocal exploration, music and sound vibration. When people hear me sing they tell me that they feel connected to their inner healer. The music I create makes them feel nurtured and empowered. Listen here.
I see myself standing beside my mother at her sewing machine, being enthralled with the process. The long history of women’s handwork goes before me.ย I enjoy the repetitive, meditative nature of hand stitchery and weaving baskets. ย With my creationsย I wish to invoke wonder and celebrate beauty. My hope is that my artย will transport the viewer into gratitude and appreciation of life as sacred. I teach workshops in fibre art, basketry and stitching. My knitted chair pads, stitched landscapes and mixed media fibre art upcycled from found objects are available for purchase atย WaveSongย on Etsy. Tour my studio here.
