My passion is undoubtedly a gift from my Grandmother, Julia. I grew up on my grandparents farm in Saskatchewan and she was an integral part of my childhood and helped raise me. Julia was an incredible creative free spirit and I loved her. She nurtured my own creative fire as I watched, helped and learned the art of restoration and repurposing, crafting and creating, gardening and landscaping long before it was cool and trendy but more a way of life. It’s in my DNA and essential to my spirit and soul. My homage is really to her I know she is smiling down on me pleased that her knowledge was passed down to the generations of her family, this is for her, and for me, and for anyone who wants to join me on this journey.
