I am a mother of three boys, living in the beautiful rural community of Metchosin, situated on the southern coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I have a BA(Hons) degree in Textile Design and a Post Graduate Certificate of Education in Art, Craft and Design. In my life before children, I worked as a Graphic Artist / Designer at a Zoological park, in Devon, England but now I choose to paint ‘Wildlife Artivism’ in my own studio, Art- butus.
