"Encaustic is basically painting with wax," explains Irene. Irene moved to Cecil Lake in 1995 from Switzerland and found not many people knew about encaustic. She started a business to teach beginners and introduce more people to encaustic. "I love what I do and I like to share that with others," said Irene.

Irene is happy to call Cecil Lake home and loves that "people and neighbours know each other and are willing to help out and lend a hand if needed." Irene enjoys being outdoors and going for walks with her dog . She also loves camping with her family. A very nice place to visit is about 30 km east of Fort St. John near her home in Cecil Lake. "It is the St. Matthias Anglican log church, built as a community project by volunteers," said Irene, "it is still in use and the perfect setting for a wedding or for picture taking of any kind."

Irene also enjoys being connected to Fort St. John. "I like that it is not too big and it's easy to find out what kind of events are taking place in different locations - at the cultural center, the Lido, the pool and so on."
