Join her monthly jewelry-making classes at 'Little Beetle' to explore your creativity and make something special! I'm a passionate wire working artist and dedicated instructor, with over a decade of experience in the art of wire jewelry and decorative pieces. My journey in wire art began 11 years ago, and since then, I've been deeply committed to exploring the boundless possibilities that wire off
ers, crafting earrings, pendants, bracelets, necklaces, and more, each with its own story and essence. I find the intricate patterns, delicate textures, and vibrant colors of nature to be endlessly fascinating, and they play a significant role in the designs I create and the lessons I teach. Being outdoors rejuvenates my spirit and fuels my creativity, allowing me to bring a piece of the natural world into every creation. I hold a BA in Indigenous Studies, an education that has profoundly shaped my perspective and practice. I strive to weave my place within the rich tapestry of Indigenous knowledge, respect for nature, and community engagement. It is important for me to promote an environment of learning that is not just about the craft, but also about understanding and appreciation of cultural heritage and values with the permission and acceptance of Indigenous communities and partnerships. On a personal note, my journey has also been shaped by my lived experience with mental health struggles. This aspect of my life has taught me resilience, empathy, and the therapeutic power of art. I am an advocate for mental health awareness, and through my work and teaching, I aim to provide a supportive space where others can find solace and expression through creativity. As an artist and instructor, my mission goes beyond teaching wire working techniques; it's about inspiring others, sharing my love for the natural world, embracing our stories, and supporting each other in our creative and personal journeys.
