I am a multidisciplinary artist working with sound as a contemplative sonic mystic and music facilitator and visually with mixed media.
What gives me joy is living authentically and creatively connecting with people by offering them space to explore their own growth.Β I want to accompany people as they discoverΒ their authenticΒ voices, cultivate their own creativity and innate truth so that they can live wholeheartedly. I facilitateΒ circles, fibre artΒ and creativity workshops to support those seeking personalΒ understanding, insight, creative sparking andΒ a connection to Source. I have trained as a Holding Space Practitioner and facilitate using The Circle Way and hold a certificate in using sound in healing.
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 womenβs 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 work goes before me. I enjoy the repetitive, meditative nature of hand stitchery. With my creations I wish to invoke wonder and celebrate beauty. My hope is that my art will transport the viewer into gratitude and appreciation of life as sacred. My knitted chair pads, stitched landscapes and mixed media fibre art upcycled from found objects are available for purchase at WaveSong on Etsy. Tour my studio here.
