Kai-Liis teaches creative, imaginative workshops in watercolour and mixed media. She has taught in Ontario, at the Haliburton School of Arts, and in Southampton. She does workshops as far-flung as new Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI. She also did a demonstration in the Niagara Frontier Watercolour Society in the U.S.A.

Memberships include the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour, the Colour and Form Society, and the Toronto Watercolour Society.

With all four daughters off on their own, Kai-Liis now divides her time between painting, teaching, running her alpaca farm in the Mulmur Hills, north of Toronto, riding her Icelandic horses, and playing with her collie puppy, Spirit – Emily.
