November 2024 - Update

  • Holiday Shopping (Merch Shop & Retail)

  • Nov-Dec Events

This past month I’ve been taking significant time off in preparation for the busy holiday season, which is now fast approaching!

I’ve been revamping my website with separate shop pages for Available Artworks (this will feature medium-large artworks at more premium price points for those looking to grow their art collection) and Merch Shop (small items for those with smaller budgets).

I’m hope this new distinction will help provide a more efficient way to shop on my website. I’ve updated other pages on my website too, so feel free to explore whenever you get the chance!

Holiday Shopping

I know it’s crazy to say, but it’s already time to start thinking about the holiday season! I’m excited to share that I’ve just released some new holiday products, including XMAS Tree pins & Chrismukkah Cards. Click through to shop these new items and view my entire Holiday collection.

While I’d love it if you would shop online and buy directly from my website, I understand some of you prefer to shop in-person! Below are all the retail locations you can shop my art/merch this holiday season.

February 2024 - Update

  • Joy of Painting - 2013 Re-Release

  • Shop Update: Heart Cards 

  • COLLECTIVE CHAOS - MARCH MINI Show at Slice of Life

This past month I've been taking things a little slower than usual. I've been focusing most of my time on recovering from the end of year burnout and working on a commission (which I'm excited to share in next month's update).

Joy of Painting - 2013 Re-Release

I'm happy to share the availability of a painting I completed back in 2013! Yes, 2013! The painting has lived with my parents for the past 10 years, but alas they've downsized and this beauty needs a new home. It currently fills a wall in my apartment, but I'd love to give it a new home with more space to breathe. I even have a time-lapse video to share with you (because I'm a timelapse hipster, I've been documenting my process before it was cool).

Shop Update: Heart Cards

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so I've added a few cross-stitch heart cards to my online shop. Why not send one that special someone? Shipping & studio pick up options available at checkout.

COLLECTIVE CHAOS - MARCH MINI Show at Slice of Life

I'll be exhibiting something mini at this collective MARCH MINI show next month. Save the date & RSVP so you can jump the line if space fills. There will be music, merch and a door prize!

Date & Time
Saturday, March 2
7:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. PST

Location
SLICE OF LIFE
1636 Venables Street

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.

I finished writing a collaborative project proposal to the Canada Council for the Arts for a grant in 2024.

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.
