Cecile is proudly multicraftual (no that isn’t a real word but that doesn’t really matr now does it!?) If she was forced to choose, she would say her first love is painting both watercolour and acrylic, but closely followed by...all the rest! She has been a lifelong learner of the arts, and originally became a Floral Designer. She also has experience in retirement living, assisting seniors with recreational programming. She enjoyed assisting with everything from painting, embroidery, paper crafts, doodling and making items to sell at their Christmas bazaars. Cecile also owns her own small business where she lets her creativity fly with custom specialty cakes, creating cakes you would never find at major retail bakeries!

Cecile is passionate about sharing just how many forms of art can become a method of therapy to slow your heart rate, reduce anxiety, create a place of calm and just have fun! She hopes Do Good's classes spark your creativity and that you find a moment to let that inner child out!

With her background as a Certified Family Life Educator, Mandy is passionate about creating spaces where people can cultivate supportive relationships and find healing through creative expression. Her goal is to foster environments where everyone feels welcome to try new things, share their stories, and build community.
