Meet your host, Tammy Racicot
I am a self taught artist, specializing in acrylic painting and have been a member of the Porcupine Art Club for a number of years. I have submitted to different art venues with wonderful results. Most recently the Northern Ontario Artists Association NOAA 2021 selection. I have been a licensed Art Sherpa Instructor for a number of years. Being a self taught artist, helped me work through techniques that I can confidently share with willing adventurers.
Living in Timmins, I am surrounded by nature, manicured public gardens and an abundance of History.
Timmins, the Hub of the North for the local towns and tourists.
