Community-based arts is my passion! For the past 8 years I have been actively engaged in Edmonton’s arts community as an administrator, consumer, supporter, and occasional creator. Now back in Courtenay to lay down roots and raise my little one, I am awed by yet another strong, passionate arts community.
In helping to organize the [intlink id=”855″ type=”post”]Underground Craft Fair[/intlink], I felt inspired to get creative. I will be selling handmade kids books, flipbooks, and earrings fashioned out of re-purposed bike tube. As a [intlink id=”297″ type=”post”]VIDzFEST[/intlink] participant, I have submitted a video re-edited from grainy footage shot in Courtenay, circa 2001.

Your thoughts on the Arts
What the Arts mean in my life/To my company?
Working with inner-city based arts organizations and artists with developmental disabilities I have witnessed the enrichment of lives through the transformative power of art. In my personal experience, creating and experiencing art has played a pivotal role in shaping who I am and the way I perceive the world around me. Community arts and a grassroots approach to arts engagement is where it’s at… diminishing barriers, transforming ideas, and ultimately starting a revolution!
How are we involved in the arts in the Valley?
Elevating the Arts on May 5. After that – who knows!!!
