March Artist - Mel Faucher
|
|
The March artist is Mel Faucher, owner-founder of PourMyMind Abstract Arts and Events. Mel was born and raised in Ottawa Ontario and has immersed herself in creative activities since a young age. Despite a passion for art, as she got older it took a backseat to other interests, until she had a mini brain stroke in 2017 caused by a tumor removed in October 30, 2018. Her life was turned upside down. She believes that she was given a second chance in life. That is when she decided to create her small business based on her mental health struggles. PourMyMind Abstract Arts and Events is a social event that offers fluid art workshops and health and wellness classes to help our mental health community.
Photo Gallery: Mel Faucher EN will appear here on the public site.
