So freaking excited to announce that we are back at Granville Island this week.

The ever frustrating supply chain issues… Continue reading We’re Back!

Pandemic Update
Hello friends! Ever since the pandemic forced us to pack up our table at Granville Island back in March 2020, my life has been pretty much flipped upside down. Selling my work at in-person events (like festivals, markets, craft fairs & art shows) is 80% of my income. Shutting down was scary, but I understood… Continue reading Pandemic Update

Layers of Control
This new series of paintings has been keeping me busy over the last few months as I've been experimenting with painting in, over & with resin. I've worked with resin for the last 8 or 9 years as a top coat for my lockets and wood block prints, but this new series uses many layers… Continue reading Layers of Control

He loves to spend time on the water, despite the constant need to refresh his TruCoat Rust-Proof finish. He also enjoys campfires, s'mores… Continue reading Introducing Walter (Robot no.9)
