Hi, I’m Jen!
I am an Artist, Yoga Teacher and Reiki Practitioner. As an interdisciplinary Artist, I express my love for nature through drawing, painting, and collage. I capture the landscape using simple shapes and colours.
I am a natural dyer, invigorated by colours from plants, flowers, and leaves. I enjoy the outdoor experience of collecting and the aroma of organic materials in the dye pot. I dye cotton, linen, and silk for mixed media work, cloth, or wearable items. My work also involves creating community through creativity, movement, and meditation.
In 2014, I completed my Yoga Teacher Training Certificate (RYT 200) along with my level II Reiki Practitioner course, and have since updated my YTT (2019). I have taught many classes locally and have attended yoga and silent meditation retreats and conferences, including the International Yoga Festival in Rishikesh, India.
I have experience working with all ages and groups including young children and youth programming as a Yoga Teacher as well as a nature-based facilitator and Art instructor. My personal creative practice involves drawing, painting, textile work with natural dyes and eco-printing using local leaves and flowers.
