Hi All,

For the past thirty years Brian and I have dedicated our time and expertise to developing Van-Art Expression as a value-driven business offering our community creative counselling solutions.

During that time I have not only committed myself directly to my clients but have spent many years teaching, speaking, writing and advocating to help other professionals find their entrepreneurial footing while building their businesses.

Brian and I are excited to announce that within Van-Art Expression I have launched a new Time Strategy Coaching and Speaking branch of the business.

I am very excited to share my passion about time and what you can do to make every minute count.
Drawing on over three decades of experience, I have developed my own exceptional time strategy system. My coaching and speaking focuses on helping private and corporate clients:

identify time-wasting habits
set realistic goals, and
implement strategies for maximizing productivity while adding a layer of personal joy to the experience.

As always, I provide ongoing support and accountability, ensuring that clients learn how to prioritize tasks, balance their schedules, and make the most of their newly reclaimed time.

Take Back your Time!

Book Your Free 15 Minute Discovery Call Today . Email me and we can set a TIME that is going to work for both of us.

You deserve it !

As a member of the Canadian Horticultural Therapy Association I just wanted to remind people that finding a nature based interest can be a very relaxing and peaceful way to settle a busy mind. The images below are part of my succulent garden. I have been propogating succulents for about three years now and the practise gives me great joy.

The other day I was experimenting with colour and texture. Not quite done with this painting but will post soon. Although this puppy looks nothing like my Lily (different breed) there was something about the eyes that spoke to me and reminded me of all our special moments when she sat in on my sessions as my co-therapist.

Taking a stab at my first snow scene. Art is always a process .. trying new things, expressing yourself in new ways . I have found working on the smaller canvas boards has allowed me take a few more artistic risks without worrying as much about the cost of the canvas . This in turn has giving me a good boost in confidence about trying some new techniques.
