One of the most common questions I get asked is “how long does that take you?” And I always give a rough estimate, but this time I actually timed myself. The timing definitely varies based on how much detail I put in, but I average between 20-30 mins per notebook. #yycart #yyc #artist #local

Fuck trump. Fuck ice. Trans rights are human rights. If you disagree with fundamental human rights please don’t buy my art.

Glueing mirrors on in a coffee shop so more people can see my art. To be honest I was really nervous to post a video featuring me in it, but I’m putting the energy out there that only good things can come of me opening up more. So here’s to that.

Hope @hopefulheartdesign.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

The final touches of painting are officially done ! All that’s left to do is glue mirrors on

I can’t wait to show you the fully finished piece. If you watch my stories you’ve probably already gotten a sneak peak

Hope @hopefulheartdesign.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

I wasn’t sure how I would like this design element at first, but I wanted it to feel like it was moving with some sort of direction rather than just stagnant, overall I like how it turned out within the whole design.

I recently taught a mandala workshop at @centredclaystudiosyyc and they were an AMAZING group to teach! The studio had such great vibes and the owners were awesome to work with! Thank you so much for having me! 🥰

A close up of all the little details in this 18” piece. At this point it’s just waiting for me to finish it but I’ve been working so much lately I haven’t had the time to sit down and paint ! 🤪

Hope @hopefulheartdesign.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Details so small you’ll need a closer look to see them !

This 18” piece is coming along , I’ve been working so much the last few weeks I’ve hardly had any time to paint so she’s sitting waiting for me to keep going! In the meantime time I’m working on some little 6” minis for an upcoming workshop !

This piece is one that you’ll have to look really closely to see all the little details I’m putting in.

Hope @hopefulheartdesign.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Little by little it’s coming along beautifully 🥰

Pack some tool kits with me! These toolkits will be given to every single student who participates in my workshop at @centredclaystudiosyyc on March 7th! I think there may be a few spots left!

Here’s a static glimpse of this record. You’ve seen it grow from a few dots to the final swooshes, and now here it is in its full glory

Hope @hopefulheartdesign.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

I want to connect with some local artists! #yycartist where you at?

Hope @hopefulheartdesign.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Adding final details to this record! The colour palette needs a few tweaks, the orange colour is a bit dull compared to the rest of the colours, and I think I’m going to expand the palette a bit with more transitional colours but overall I like it! What are your thoughts?

Hope @hopefulheartdesign.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Adding some floral designs into my pattern for this record. I’m loving playing with the new shapes and possibilities!
