Sarah%2520Headshot_edited_edited.jpg

Sarah W

Staff & former Operations Manager (she/her)

As Operations manager until September 2023, Sarah kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes at the studio, and greeting our community at the front desk.  Sarah's creativity and artistry shine through the many projects she undertakes to create the cozy space we hold dear, including murals and chalkboards. 

Sarah stepped down to focus on her career in Art Therapy, and we look forward to her return as part-time admin & client support late Autumn 2023.

Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator (she/her)

Indu is both an instructor and strives to incorporate procedural fairness and natural justice in all of her work.  She has been working with the Union team to evolve transparent policies and procedures that are accessible for everyone to understand.  In this role, Indu ensures everyone has the opportunity to be heard; promotes conflict resolution; and facilitates fair, equitable mediation.

Janeva headshot square.jpg

Janeva F

Desk Staff (she/her)

Janeva is our easy-going ray of sunshine.  She self-identifies as a queer artist, and creates a soft and warm place for folks to land when they arrive at Union.  You immediately feel the care she puts into her work, which she divides between Union and her career as multi-media artist weaving in themes of breathwork, nature, thought, and an on-going exploration of gender & sexuality.
