Fahlman has been fascinated with art since an early age. From the first time she drew an apple, that looked like an apple! This experience inspired her to draw continuously thereafter. High school art class exposed her to multiple mediums available to artists.

Fahlman participated in many creative workshops and extended her skills with the completion of a BFA at the Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design.

Living in Nakusp, Fahlman continues to be inspired by the scenery and wildlife found in the area. Outdoor activities provide opportunities to capture a variety of these subjects.
