Where did you learn your craft?

I received a BFA in painting and drawing from the University of Saskatchewan. I participated in a mentorship with Bobbi Clackson-Walker to learn how to work with encaustic.

What is your inspiration?

The prairies, especially prairie skies. Landscape, light, colour and line. The process of making and discovering happy accidents that turn into new techniques.
