About Me

Brenda has been doing crafts with her mom since she was little. Then in 1995 Brenda wanted to go further and turn it into art by taking short college courses with ceramics, 2D art and as many other courses she could find. Then headed to the art colleges.  Attending ACAD in Calgary and Red Deer College.

In 2005 Brenda was introduced to a sculptural fabric hardener from Holland called Paverpol. In 2006 she took her certification training and has now earned her MPPT from the company.
