Meet Creative Connie

A creative spark that grew into something much bigger.

For as long as I can remember, I have been driven by creativity, resourcefulness and the joy of bringing people together. Before having children, I worked in corporate marketing and team building, a background that became the perfect foundation for the work I do today.

My journey into art instruction started more than 16 years ago when I volunteered in my daughters' Junior Kindergarten classrooms. Students and teachers loved the sessions, and before long I was teaching older grades and hosting evening teacher paint nights.

Over the years, Creative Connie grew into a diverse event business. I have been honoured to teach therapy through art in women's transition homes and men's rehabilitation programs while also leading corporate team building, fundraisers, private parties, birthdays and community gatherings.

I would love to bring some creative energy to your next group or event. β™‘

The classroom changes the second the canvases come out.

Bringing art into schools creates instant excitement. Students walk into a transformed room with colourful palettes, aprons and blank canvases ready to become something of their own.
