Collage Workshops

Come take an illuminating adventure into collaging. Where found images, chosen with the help of your intuition, play together and are reformed into new worlds and meaning.

  • Vision Board Workshop

    Vision Boarding is a great way to focus your intentions and support your actions moving forward, by anchoring visually what you are working to achieve. Vision boards can be made at the start of a new year or season, or a fresh life chapter. Often done to support a set of life goals, vision boards can also be made for singular projects with unique parameters, or themes that you may be drawn to explore and make flourish. Look here for unique offerings listed throughout the year, or book me for a custom curated session.

    This workshop is open to any type of vision board you wish to create. Please let me know your theme before arriving so I can provide specific imagery options. Feel free to bring any unique imagery from home that you may wish to include in your vision board.

    Ages 15 and up.

    Sunday Sept. 28/2025 1 - 4pm $40 all supplies provided. Refreshments included.

 Travelling Art Classes

I love to travel and teach. If you are interested in hosting me for a collage or mandala workshop in your community, please reach out to me via email to explore how we can make that work. I am particularly open to teaching anywhere on Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, as well as the lower mainland. Overseas is an option as I visit England and Germany, and can visit countries in Europe as well. Let’s dream up a wonderful event together.
