STORY & PHILOSOPHY

The rustic west coast lifestyle of Jeanette's upbringing in Coldwell Beach, Indian Arm set the foundation for woodworking where nothing is wasted and everything is reused when you are your own hardware store with a boat ride away from the world. 

​

Jeanette also believes in contributing to her community and keeping the magic of the small town feel of the Cove alive. This is why she jumped on board to volunteer and build the Cove Community Market series - a local artisan market with eco-forward and handcrafted goods.

 

She also donates her work to local auctions raising funds for groups such as North Shore Family Services, YWCA Women of Distinction Gala, Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland. 

 

Jeanette’s work has been exhibited in Pitt Meadows Art Gallery (PMAG), Circle Craft Artisan Feature Display, Interior Design Show, North Shore Art Crawl and Arts Whistler.  She was recently featured in the Vancouver Guardian and the Edible Sea to Sky Holiday Gift Guide. Jeanette is a member of the North Van Arts. 

 

Outside of her homebased Deep Cove workshop, Jeanette likes to adventure on the North Shore mountains and oceanside, tending to her family's veggie garden and filling her pantry with homesteader aspirations.
