About the Instructor:

Josslyn grew up on the prairies and found herself inspired by the big sky vistas, Parkland forests and lakes. During her BFA days, she was deeply inspired my the many landscape artists who expressed heartfelt emotions and created unique and authentic worlds through their art.

It is her goal to do the same. She love the immediacy and freshness of watercolour, and the transformation and textures of washi collage. It is her intent that my drawings, prints and paintings be celebrations of nature that bring a sense of peace and wonder to her viewers, that instill a feeling of connection with nature, of spirit, and of honouring our place within it.

Josslyn enjoys sharing her artistic experience and passion with artists of all levels through her classes with Ladysmith Arts.
