Roxsane Tiernan

Roxsane was born and raised in the Greater Vancouver area. She became an International educator teaching high school and marketing for the district in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Mexico. Wherever she goes she soaks up local colour, customs and culture. Her cross-cultural experiences blend with her lively imagination, her creativity and her love of the outdoors providing an endless variety of subjects for her art work. Now she lives in Burnaby. Recently she experiments with the exuberance of acrylics using playful, audacious colour. At times she combines acrylics and paper to create a mixed media piece.

As Past President of the Burnaby Artists Guild she has helped with the creation of mosaic murals for the Tommy Douglas Library, B C Children's Hospital, and in 2015 two murals for Burnaby General Hospital. In 2014 Roxsane led an Art Delegation to Guiyang, Guizhou, China and coordinated the reception of Guiyang artists in Burnaby in 2015.

Roxsane has a deep belief in helping to make the world a better place. She has written "Timber Talk" a dictionary of logging terminology: "Celebrate Japan" about Japanese Festivals; 'Zip' the story of her first fifty years; "ART and SOUL" a book of her poetry and artwork; and recently "Zipping Along".

She lives life to the fullest happily sharing these times with Bill, her close friends and family. She is an outstanding survivor.
