Done and dusted- “Trial by Fire” now has prints ready to go for the Crafts from the Crypt Fair at the Saanich Fairgrounds this weekend! More new stuff (including lil felted beasties) will be there- plus a special “nothing’s scarier than revisiting your older art” sale…💀

This year marks the 11th anniversary of the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, and unfortunately, we are not making any progress. As Canadians, we are all responsible for reconciliation, and implementing the TRC Calls to Action is a significant opportunity for healing. 1/9 #CARFACBC

Compulsory land acknowledgements and statements of solidarity with local Indigenous groups are not enough to create support or equality within the arts and culture sectors. Find recommendations and best practices in our Toolkit for Galleries and Arts Orgs: www.carfacbc.ca/s/Working-Th...

Last Fall, I started Fall into Alpine Granite, inspired by Vancouver Island's Strathcona Park. The changing colours and light, experiencing the season's change in this September, provided the inspiration I need to finish. A slow work!

Unfortunately, artists have been hit in the recent round of tariffs. The Canadian Crafts Federation has an excellent guide for dealing with the current situation: canadiancraftsfederation.ca/resources/ta... Thank you to the CCF for this timely toolkit to help craftspeople / artists! #tariffs

Let’s be clear, you do not need a formal education to be an artist! Attending art school or taking university arts courses comes with pros and cons. Many artists take workshops or non-institutional art courses, or are self-taught. 1/2 #CARFAC #CARFACBC #CARFACBCmember #bcartist #bcgalleries

First day of Sails and Sagas is a wrap! One more day to go! Felted beasties have garnered a fair bit of attention, and in keen to see what catches people’s eyes on Sunday… Lucked out with fair weather and really great music!

New stuff!! New prints of my wee lad Oliver the Squonk, new illustration from the Tales of Ænim, and a pile of lil woolly beasties! It’s an outdoor show this time: Sails & Sagas, this weekend in Iroquois Park, Sidney. That’s right- the paper and wool artist will be…outside.
