My Story

Somewhere between Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers my little ​self envisioned being an artist. It wasn’t a choice but more of ​a cosmic assignment, creativity and wonderment chose me.

I dreamed of going to art school since before I fully ​understood what that meant but life had detours. I studied a ​year at Alberta University of the Arts in the early 1990's and it ​was as magical as I had imagined. My husbands career took ​priority and I became a mom twice. Not finishing my degree ​was like walking with my shoes untied. In between domestic ​obligations I worked in creative fields as a visual artist, arts ​facilitator and graphic designer.

In 2022, at the age of 56, after many grief experiences I started ​working on my BFA again with the goal of doing a Master’s in ​Art Therapy. I’m currently in my 3rd year studying Print ​Making, Photography, Art History, Indigenous studies and ​Creative Writing.

Stationery: note cards

I’ve had a love affair with paper for most of my life. When I ​was young, I’d fold sheets in half and make a drawing on ​the front with crayons. My family in the Maritimes were ​often the recipients of my creations. When I became a ​painter I learned to digitize my work and print cards that ​were always popular at sales and helped supplement my ​career.

I’m no stranger to mental health and addiction, both ​myself and those close to me. I’m tired of the long standing ​stigma and silence so I developed a line of greeting cards to ​open doors and create conversation. Gentle Health Ink. is ​dedicated to changing the narrative about living with a ​sensitive nervous system.
