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.
BIO
My passion and purpose is to use creativity, meditation and movement to inspire others to connect with their truth and follow their joy. I have a diploma in Graphic Communications (CNA 2006) as well as Textile: Craft & Apparel Design (CNA 2016) as well as completed courses in Visual Arts towards my BFA from Grenfell Campus, Memorial University. I have been working in Art organizations, community work and education for over 14 years.
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.
