About me
Fibre arts captured my interest at a young age, and I began creating clothing as soon as I could handle a toy sewing machine. As an adult I began experimenting in water colour, charcoal, clay and other media in a creativity course taught by the late Peter Kolisnyk. Since 1999 I have been painting with oils and am largely self-taught.
I am currently in the second year of a two year in-depth Iyengar Yoga Teacher Training program under Mahyar Raz, at her Setu Studio.
