New Studio - Arts Factory Society

281 Industrial Ave, Vancouver, BC

I’m happy to say I’ve been settling in nicely to my studio at the Arts Factory Society! It’s been an adjustment getting used to working out of a shared space (after having a private studio for the past 4.5 years). That said I’ve been loving the lively creative vibe of the building and having peers so close for advice when needed. I’m especially grateful for how friendly and supportive everyone has been as I get prepared for my first year participating in the Eastside Culture Crawl (see more details towards the end of this email).

For now let me share some behind the scenes photos of the new work that’s been happening in my new space!
