We believe every child has Creative Potential.

Annie is the Artistic Director of CanArt Sault Ste Marie, leading the creative vision and curriculum that shape the studio’s unique skill-based approach to art education.

As a professional artist and educator, with 15 years as a university professor and an international exhibition record, she brings years of studio practice and teaching experience to designing programs that help young artists build confidence, technical skills, and creative voice.
