positive attitude ambassador. Her work is colourful, genuine and

pencil prayons. She is NOT a scrapbooker - but, she loves the people
who do it (plus, she really wants a Cropodile because they're so cool.)
She is the energetic owner of her own print media design studio call
iDeaMonsters, the author/artist of an internationally selling art/life
book called LoveLife - Collected, the heart behind the
LoveLife project, and an accomplished Canadian painter.

her skillful combinations of imagery, feelings and words which create
memorable and striking pieces.
Educated in three provinces and two countries - she has studied Fine
Art, art history, illustration, typography, photography and graphic
design while honing her keen marketing and business sense while
maintaining a bulletproof positive attitude. She was awarded the
Women Entrepreneur of the Year in 2005 for her province and is the
recipient of several International Design Awards.
