While working full time as an Educational Assistant at her local high school, Verna was certified at “A Nail Above the Rest” in March 2013. She began doing nails full time in the fall of 2013 when she had a health crisis that required her attention.

When asked about her art, this is what Verna had to say, “I’ve always loved art in it’s many forms. I believe women are like art…each are beautiful in their own unique way. So my love for art & making women feel good just naturally go hand in hand with doing nails. I love a challenge so there is very little I will not attempt, either on practice nails or on those clients that are willing to sit while I create. I really enjoy working with Amore Gel products because of the versatility, ease of application & awesome lineup of colours. The company and staff have been very supportive and have offered many options to improve the quality of my work. Amore rocks!!!”

Verna’s work can be seen on her facebook page or Instagram under NailZensation Studio. 

The reason she chose that name is…Nail because she loves everything nails! Zen because her pen & ink art is similar to zen doodle/zentangle and is an art form that she finds very relaxing & fulfilling. (sen)sation because her work creates a reaction of interest & excitement. 

Verna is married to a wonderful man who supports her in pursuing her passion. They have been blessed with two children, a son-in-law & three wonderful grandsons.

Needing to establish her clientele again, she set out to take a few refresher classes, and in 2012 met Chris Jammer. Chris had just become an Amore Educator and Tanya was her first student.
