After I raised my family (6 children) I went back to college for a 2 year diploma in Medical Office Assistant.  I immediately gained a position with Addiction Services for Central Ontario, and have been employed there for the past 13 years. Creativity is a passion for me and I particularly love to facilitate groups involving art creation.  In my work I have provided numerous art and wellness activities for staff and clients as well as in my private life.  I believe art is an excellent tool to help people focus, relax and explore their creative passions.  I have also used by talents to engage teams  in team building exercises through art.  I am looking forward to enhancing my programs as an Art Practitioner.
