Ali de Caussin was born and raised on a farm in rural Ontario where she first became inspired to create art through her connection to our sacred earth. Living amidst such raw beauty inspired her to create beadwork pieces with an emphasis on the natural world and painting of both found objects and canvas, using colour to express the energy of movement, texture, and flow. She currently lives part-time on Gambier Island and is presenting art pieces at the Gambier Island Community Center during the Art Crawl in 2024.
