Katrina Thibodeau is the sole artist at DISCOVER THE CANVAS STUDIO. At the age of 17, despite the critics and naysayers, she opened her first studio. She worked tirelessly and built a client base and even accepted an award for Youth Entrepreneurship in her inaugural year. She knew if this was something she was going to pursue that she wanted to do everything she could to excel in the industry. This meant expanding her resources here in Sault Ste. Marie and looking at professional development opportunities in Toronto. Living in Toronto for almost five years allowed for Katrina to train under some of the leading artists in the industry and take specialization courses with experts from the UK.
