Friends, I'm stoked to be part of this upcoming group show at ROAM GALLERY in City Square this month. It's called the September Issue Show and is fashion-focused. Nine of my original paintings will be featured alongside 10+ other artists including jewelry designers, fashion clothing designers and painters. Here is a peek at one of my pieces: "Be True" – a painting about being brave and being our truest most authentic self. Mixed media on cradled wood, $310. Prints available here.
The show runs September 9th – October 6, 2015 with a Meet the Artist Night on Friday September 11, from 6pm – 10pm. Please
share this invite with everyone in your circle, and bring as many
people as you like to the Meet The Artist night. Also take a peek at this awesome Artist Feature page they did for me, and read about some of the other artists in the show here (only some of the artists on their list are in this show so lookup the names from the poster).
See you there! Wear your sparkly shoes and favourite lipstick:)

What
an awesome experience! This was my second year participating in the
Annual New West Cultural Crawl, but it was my first year hosting it in
my cozy attic home studio. I didn't know what to expect. I thought if
nobody showed up I would enjoy a day of making art but instead people
trickled into my space all weekend long to the tune of about 120 people.
I connected with so many amazing individuals and really enjoyed sharing
my process and selling my art. Thanks to everyone who came!
p.s. The winner of my prize draw
is Teresa Tomsies, who won the original painting "Whole," as pictured
below. This painting is about embracing and celebrating our whole
selves, being kind to ourselves and accepting all the parts of what
makes us the unique amazing individuals we are – perfectly imperfect beings.
This mixed media painting is 8" x 8" on gallery wrapped canvas and was
painted by me in 2014. It is an abstract piece with the word "whole"
integrated into the painting. Congrats Teresa, I hope you enjoy!
p.p.s The flower bouquets were done for my event by Blossom & Vine Floral Co. And a huge thank you to Trudy and her crew at Van Dop Gallery for organizing this event, and to 100 Braid St Studios for giving me a shout out.
