I would have to say that the most precious connections I have made here in Barrie, Ontario are with Awkward Stage and Le Petit Chapeau. Both Alana Sproule and Meaghan Armstrong have been both supportive and inspirational as I begin my journey as an artist. Beyond being my studio neighbours, we are working hard as the Lakeshore collaborative to bring programming to the mews during culture days and deliver workshops throughout the year. I definately could not have done what I have without these two special ladies.

Upon moving to Barrie, Ontario, I became a board member of the Barrie Arts and Culture Council just in time to help launch their new portal called the BARRIE ARTS NETWORK. If you are an artist; musical, culinary, visual, theatrical, or otherwise, be sure to register your profie with the Barrie Arts Network so those living or visiting our great city can begin to familiarize themselves with all of the amazing talent that exists in our community.
