My Work in Brick and Mortar Living Boutique!

I'm excited to share a few snapshots of my work in Brick & Mortar Living boutique here in New West. This is the best place in town to pickup local artisan gifts, hands down. Go check it out and pickup some of your special gifts for the season!

I'm so delighted to have Brick & Mortar carrying my artful products. I just dropped off this batch of beautiful goodies today, so by the time you make it into the store you'll find even more to choose from. As pictured below: handmade and surface designed gift wrap $6 for 2 unique sheets, notebooks $12, greeting cards $5.95, and greeting card gift sets $26. Also carried in store are my small fine art blocks $22 and mini tins $5.50. Enjoy!

Brick & Mortar Living is at #50 - Sixth Street, New Westminster, one block up the hill from Sixth and Columbia.
  
Feeling the joy of the season. With love,

Product Spotlight!

[ art blocks, giclée reproductions, shop online ]

Hi friends, It's been a busy autumn. I've got lots on the go between my roles of mama, designer, artist, entrepreneur, cook and more. Amidst it all I'm growing and expanding (personally and professionally) and wanted to shine a spotlight on a few pieces I'm enjoying right now in my product collection! Hope you enjoy too.

A few of my surface pattern designs & sensitive, feminine portraits reproduced on mini art blocks.

My greeting card collection: I've added my surface pattern designs along with a few black and whites.

Here's the current product story, including matted art prints, mini tins, greeting cards and art blocks. I was at the printers today sourcing notebooks and notepads to add to the line. Boy I'm holding out for getting licensed! Paper goods make me so elated, I'd love to do much much more.

Were you looking for a gift or treat? Shop all these products online and in boutiques. Blocks $22, cards $6, tins $5, matted prints $28 small & $38 large.

Come to the Culture Crawl on Aug 9 & 10!

Hello dear friends!

I hope you're enjoying summer and getting some relaxation in.

I have an invitation for you – please come check out the New West Cultural Crawl on Saturday August 9th & Sunday August 10th. It's an art crawl around my beautiful town of New Westminster.  And the perfect opportunity for me to share my new studio space with you.

I will have my new space at 100 Braid St Studios open, with original art and artful products for sale, ranging from small to big items! 

My studio mates will be selling their art, and you can tour around the gorgeous space. Artists and studios throughout New West are participating in the event, so there is lots of opportunity to hop around and soak up all the creativity and different styles by a range of artists, and pickup gifts and art along the way. The River Market (formerly the New West Quay) will have all kinds of awesome things happening and it will be a great place to have a picnic and wander by the water in between studio visits. The event runs from 11am - 5pm both days. Bring your kids and friends!

Information, participating artists/studios and directions are here, and you can download the guide to print and take on your trek throughout New West. There will be lots of printed copies at all the venues too. 

I hope to see you!!! I'm delighted to share this piece of my life and work with you. It will be fun!

With care,
Ginger

Renewal

Here's a little peek at my renewal journey. Absorbing beauty and energy from nature, inspirations outings, and small moments of hands-on creating.

Also, I'm realizing taking a break from blogging is hard. I want to share the good things going on. That's part of my journey. So I will, when the moments feel right. 
 

Wisteria tree.

Patterns. At PaperYa on Granville Island.

Working on my back patio flanked by the garden & my yoga mat.

Studio Oh! Love this notebook art by Marisa Redono.

Urban Source on Main Street - alternative art materials. Lots of treasures here to stock up the art supply box. 

White peonies covered in raindrops. Got drenched in today's rain.

Surface pattern. Loved this issue of Uppercase magazine, and still learning lots from the Field Guide to Fabric Design book. Tucked in behind is a new pattern design I'm working on.

Sketching a weed from the garden. It will become a surface pattern.

My most recent shipment of art greeting cards - my spring floral series. Loving how they turned out. You can get the 5x7 cards on Society6 here or the 4x6 ones will be posted on Etsy soon, I'll put a note up when they're there.

With love.

Artful Stickers Are Here!

I’m happy to share with you my artful stickers! I’ve printed a handful of my favourite mixed media paintings on stickers and I’m thrilled with the results. I have packs of round stickers and booklets of postage-stamp sized stickers with my art printed on them – both for sale in my shop.

Remember that kid in you that loved stickers? I did too. I still do! Go ahead and post a pretty note to someone special, embellish an envelope with a pretty seal, give someone a special gift, or simply add some beauty to your own day.

I also have an array of artful greeting cards that come packaged with sticker seals if you’re looking for that special card to send. Feels great to get back to the written word and pop a note in the mail, no?

Thanks for sharing in the excitement with me. I pour my love into these products and I truly hope you enjoy them. xo
