What I Believe
I believe we are all creators and that the process of creation ebbs and flows throughout our lives. At times it lies dormant and at other times it glows and feeds our spirit. Fresh Paint Studio was created with the intention of nurturing community creativity. It was created to ground us in the simple truth of creating art fearlessly without apology.
Who I Am
I am a mother and wife and I have been an artist my entire life – a visual artist and poet who was never afraid to create despite not fitting into prescribed boxes. My unboxed artwork also has a home at poeticart.ca. Three of the many words that could be used to describe me are creative, determined and thoughtful.
A Few More Words
I am an artist with a dream. I stand squarely on the shoulders of those who came before me and I am forever grateful for their sacrifice.
Thank you to those who have believed in and supported Fresh Paint Studio – I truly appreciate you all.
In the Beginning...
A lot has changed since we started, however, I would like to thank
a few individuals who helped to build the solid foundation that we have
today. It is true that a strong foundation helps to build a stronger future.
