This winter market season has been so crazy already that I'm embarrassed to see how neglected my blog has been. We've already steamed through Circle Craft, the Eastside Culture Crawl, a trip to Edmonton and then back on the wet coast for Make It Vancouver this past weekend. Phew! It's been a whirlwind so far… Continue reading December at Granville Island
I'm super excited to announce that my robot paintings are now available bigger than ever! Up until now, after the original painting has sold, I've only been able to offer prints up to 8x10. I've been working with a professional printer to come up with a new product that I adore - robots on metal!… Continue reading Limited Edition Metal Prints
Summer in Vancouver is so chock full of fun things to do & fabulous weather that it's amazing anybody gets any work done at all. I say this as I'm sitting inside at my desk, listening to kids laughing outside & wishing I was at the park with my pups. But my favorite summer festival is… Continue reading My Favorite Vancouver Summer Festival
I was feeling a little down the other day realizing it's already June & I have hardly any new work to show for this year. I haven't listed any new paintings for sale (though I have several) & it left me wondering where the time has gone. So far, this has been a year of… Continue reading Experimenting
Vancouver has been extra beautiful this spring while I've mostly been tucked away inside, either at my desk buried under piles of receipts trying to work my way through tax season, selling my art at markets like Granville Island (back May 13 to 18th) or holed up at the studio working on new paintings. This time… Continue reading Sunshine and Studio Days

Over the last few weeks, I haven't felt much drive to be in the studio painting new pictures. This… Continue reading Recharging
Happy New Year! I started working on this post a few weeks ago when I was knee deep in goal setting for 2015, planning which shows to apply to this year and doing some general reflection on the year that had past. And then John (my partner) got sick. And then I got sick. And… Continue reading 2015
As my last few market dates wind down, I'm happy to be easing out of the holiday season at Granville Island. The market is quiet at this time of year, which makes for much happier customers! Plus it's so festive! The lights are so pretty at night & if you have time to catch one… Continue reading Last Week at Granville Island!
I've had a couple of days to recover now & am happy to report that this year's Culture Crawl was a huge success for everyone in my studio. It was packed! Thanks so much to all of you who were able to come by & visit my studio. I was fighting a nasty cold, but… Continue reading Vancouver Handmade Markets

It runs November 20 to 23rd at the Enjoy Centre in St.Albert. Click here to… Continue reading East vs. West
