My Story: An Artist’s Journey

Before moving to a 20-acre property in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley, my life and art were shaped by the vibrant intensity of urban Vancouver. As a mixed-media artist, I thrived on the city's dynamic energy, but personal health challenges inspired me to seek a deeper, more meaningful connection with the natural world.

With little experience but abundant curiosity, I embarked on a transformative journey, allowing nature to become my guide. My art shifted organically from urban expressions to pieces deeply spiritual and rooted in the earth itself. Floral design, botanical art, and natural dyeing became central to my creative practice, each work embodying the rhythms, resilience, and quiet wisdom of the land.

I named the farm "Sage and Solace" to honor both the profound healing wisdom nature gifted me and the comforting serenity the land generously offers to all who visit. As Sage and Solace blossomed, I felt compelled not to hoard its beauty for myself, but rather to open its gates and invite others to experience this paradise. This act of sharing blossomed into a thriving community of artists, seekers, and creatives. Through workshops, retreats, and shared artistic experiences, visitors now find their own creative voices, drawing inspiration and peace directly from the landscape.

Today, Sage and Solace continues as a sanctuary—an inviting space where creativity flourishes, connections deepen, and the shared experience of art and nature fosters healing and discovery. Here, the land not only inspires art but nourishes the soul, transforming all who enter.
