After more than 30 years of teaching jewellery casting and as a practicing artist, I believe cooperation and creativity can help build a stronger community. I am an artist, educator and small-business owner who has made Masset my home. I am running for council to support progressive ideas from other candidates. These include the possibility of establishing a community thrift store in the former library, developing the planned waterfront park, and my long-held notion of the prospect to create an art school or makerspace with accessible studios for jewellery, printmaking, sculpture and other creative activities. I would also like to explore opportunities for recreation, beautification and sustainable energy, while looking for grants and partnerships that can make worthwhile projects affordable. Most importantly, I believe council should listen to residents, work cooperatively and approach new ideas with an open mind and a realistic understanding of what Masset can accomplish.
