When prescribed learning is removed in favour of self-guided learning, amazing things happen...

Before life in the creative industry, I was set on teaching Art. I even studied it for a minute. I have practicum and industry experience which is why I choose to lead workshops instead of class-rooms. It's my favourite kind of Creative Direction.

"Take Your Own Hike"
Illustrated Art Workbook 
If you love to make art, there's a good chance you started doing it before you knew what art was. 

"Take Your own Hike" was a field guide and art activity booklet written and illustrated for the young artists adjacent to Seymour Art Gallery in Deep Cove. 

On on side, a step by step lesson plan for a person to define their creative aspirations. on the flip side, a blank space for their ides.

Participants mailed their work back to Seymour Art Gallery, where it was displayed. 

Written in collaboration with Vanessa Black and Kara Whitman of the Seymour Art Gallery.
Stretching the Mind 
Workshop Series  
Some creative folks need a lot of direction, while others want a lot of runway. 

My hope was to run a workshop that dished out creative challenges in the sweet-spot for all kinds of creative thinkers.

This workshop was hosted at Slice of Life Gallery and well attended by creatives with varying backgrounds.
