​From a young age, art and photography were hobbies that allowed Fern to explore and express the beauty she saw in the natural world. As an adult, these hobbies became important tools that supported health and wellness in a difficult time. She continues to be interested in the role that art and creativity plays in physical and emotional wellness.

Raised in a rural area on the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada, and now living in the Okanagan area of British Columbia, there is a special place in her heart for the beauty of the natural world.

Other artists Fern enjoys 

• Carollyne Sinclaire, known as the "Pocket Desert Painter", is also from the beautiful Okanagan area of British Columbia.  Carollyne paints mainly in oil and acrylic and enjoys painting subjects often considered ordinary in a way that gives us a new perspective -- including confections so delicious looking you could eat them off of the page.  Additionally, she paints lovely scenes from the Okanagan Valley.
