Professional Development

Workshops for all skill levels, artists and non-artists alike!

Teachers, do you need help coming up with new art ideas or lesson plans that overlap with your current curriculum? Are you interested in learning watercolour techniques yourself?

Join me at a pro-d workshop to experiment, play and learn under my guidance so that you feel confident in teaching some watercolour lessons within your classroom. I believe that exposure to a high quality arts experience sets a student on a lifelong path of artistic exploration.

Focusing on First People’s principals of learning. We will paint different styles of Wolves, Ravens, Salmon, Bears, Beavers and Orcas. These are the animals of the Indigenous connection.
