I am a milliner and men's hatter with a very early training, and first professional experiences in Theatre and Theatrical Costuming. I was brought up in a well known Canadian theatrical and artistic family, so consider that world - my deep roots. I raised my family with my husband and a successful retail hat store on Granville Island in Vancouver Canada from 1979 till somewhere around 2009. Then , like for so many ..... life changes took me back to Nova Scotia for the last seven years where I reconnected with my first love. . Now I am returning home to Vancouver to work as as artisan on Granville Island . Full Circle again!
