A few weeks ago I broke my left (dominant) arm while riding my bike, so I will keep this review of 2021 short and sweet (since I’m typing one-handed)!
Notable Moments from 2021:
Received my first grant from the Canada Council for the Arts for my art book project
Presented an artist talk and panel: Feminist Craft of Care for Times of Crisis

Coming up in 2022:
Moving in to my first private studio space!
Preparing for two solo shows:

I’m truly excited to see what this new year will bring. But for the first month or so, my focus will be on recovery (due to this darn arm injury!) and getting set up in my new studio. Can’t wait to share more about the studio and all the new work/explorations that will surely take place within it!
Until then, wishing you all a healthy and happy new year!
