As the daughter of an established Canadian artist, I have grown up with a strong appreciation and love for art. My lifetime passion for the arts was fueled from being immersed in diverse facets of the art world from artists to students to gallerists and other advisors. During my transition from a long career as an Educator, I started to explore how I could best share this deep appreciation and knowledge of visual art with others. I completed a Certificate in Art Theory and Contemporary Art Criticism at OCAD University and deepened my studies through  connections with all stakeholders in the art community in galleries, museums, art fairs and at the Toronto Biennial of Art. I completed a mentorship with Katharine Earnhardt founder of the Mason Lane Mentorship Program (New York, NY) and built the foundation to launch my own independent art advisory business.
