My name is Barb Fortier & I  reside in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada (approximately a 1/2 hour from Vancouver). I have been a decorative painter for many years.

I was introduced to the Donna Dewberry ONE Stroke Painting Technique. I tried it, I loved it and I was Hooked!!!   I became a ONE Stroke Certified Instructor (OSCI) in January 2001.

After my certification I returned home with such vigor, I wanted to share my experience with everyone.   I immediately began teaching the ONE Stroke technique.  I am very happy with the ability to share my love of painting with so many others.

My husband Lawrence and I created a company we call "BEYOND BORDERS" the name signifies that ONE Stroke painting lets you go beyond borders; you can paint any surface from watches to walls.  In June 2003 we had the pleasure of hosting the first Western Canadian ONE Stroke Teachers Certification with Donna Dewberry and her husband Marc.  There were 100 students who attended the seminar in Surrey.  The evening before the seminar we held a "Meet and Greet" for the Public to meet Donna.  There were approximately 300 in attendance.  Donna greeted each and every one with a smile and a hug. 

I attend Seminars (hosted by Donna) in Florida at least twice a year to upgrade my painting skills and I have had the opportunity to progress in the ONE Stroke family. In January 2004 I reached the level of "Certifying Elite Instructor" and in June of 2004 I had the opportunity to teach the "Teachers Certification Seminar" in Surrey. 

In February of 2005 I (along with the other ONE Stroke Certifying Team) attended a training seminar in Florida.  It was announced that Dewberry Designs had added another level to the ONE Stroke Program.  I am so proud to represent Donna Dewberry and Dewberry Designs as Canada’s Certifying Elite Director

It is my goal as an Elite Director to hold regional certifications across Canada.   I am very thankful and feel very blessed to have the opportunity to share my love of painting with so many others and I am very grateful to Marc and Donna Dewberry to have given me this wonderful opportunity.
