The past month has been another busy one, so here’s a quick recap:

I made a new cross-stitched QR code sign (photos below).

I spent lots of time focusing on holiday production (stay tuned for Xmas cards and ornaments).

My new monochrome series is currently being shown at First Saturday Group Exhibition.

New Monochrome Series

Last Friday was the opening reception for the Monochrome group show at 1000 Parker St studios in East Vancouver, the first member’s exhibition curated by First Saturday. It was a very busy opening with lots of support for the exhibiting artists! Of course, my friend Hayley and I dressed monochromatically accordingly.

The show will run until Thanksgiving, so this weekend is your last chance to see all the works in person. Unsold works will return to my studio and be available for sale shortly there after.

Please email me directly if you’re interested in any of the works from my cross-stitch Monochrome Series.

Later this week, I’ll be setting up shop at the Pacific Arts Market at 1448 West Broadway, for the next month.

Art to Dine For

Just a reminder that I’ve got another art market fundraiser event coming up on February 8th, at High Street in Abbotsford. The market at Art to Dine For will feature art by art collective members from We Are Pie. It’s going to be an amazing event with art, food, and live music!
