🎨 Workshops & Presentations

I love sharing my passion for art and storytelling with others. Since 2021, I’ve been teaching painting and leading workshops across Labrador and Ontario. Each session is designed to inspire creativity, confidence, and community connection.

Painting Classes

Learn to paint in a fun, supportive environment! These beginner-friendly workshops run for 2–3 hours on 9x12 wrapped canvases that participants take home afterward. I guide each step of the process, making it accessible for all skill levels.

Since 2021, I’ve taught painting through:

Labrador Creative Arts Festival

Labrador Friendship Centre

Little Tree Family Centre

Military Family Resource Centre

FFtnl (French Community of Newfoundland and Labrador)

And more!

These workshops are perfect for:

Schools and community groups

Team-building events for businesses

Birthday parties and private gatherings

Sip & Paint events for a fun, relaxed atmosphere

💡 Workshop fees vary depending on class size, supplies, and location. Please contact me for a custom quote.

Youth Talks & Creative Entrepreneurship

I regularly speak with youth about creativity, storytelling, and the possibilities of pursuing a career in the arts. Through programs such as You Go Girl in Goose Bay, Inspire Labrador at CNA, and with SIFN youth, I’ve shared my journey as an artist, author, and entrepreneur.

These presentations are designed to encourage self-expression and inspire confidence in young people, tailored for classrooms and youth groups of all ages.

✨ Presentations can also be combined with a painting workshop, giving participants the chance to both learn and create during the session.

Book Readings & School Workshops (Launching 2025)

With the release of my children’s books Aurora’s Journey and Labrador Skies, I will be offering school workshops and readings that bring stories to life. These sessions combine storytelling with hands-on creative activities.

Interactive book readings for classrooms or libraries.

Discussions about storytelling, Labrador culture, and illustration.

Activities to inspire students’ imagination and love of reading.

✨ In 2026, I’ll also be traveling across Labrador to share my books through school visits, readings, and workshops — bringing stories directly into classrooms and communities.
