Contemplating tariffs in regards to my art. Searching where paints are manufactured. Thank goodness for Amsterdam & Winsor & Newton. Sourcing art supplies that are Canadian made.

When I get back from my travels, there is so much research I need to do.

I was recently interviewed for a piece on tattoos being gender affirming care 🥰 🏳️‍⚧️

Tattoos are gender affirming care

A 2021 study by the National Library of Medicine revealed that, on average, 45 per cent of transgender individuals reported having tattoos.

Exhale. Acrylic and glitter on canvas, 20" x 20".

Peach foxgloves that fade to purple float on a background of blue and Coral blobs. A black glitter strawberry nestles behind the foxgloves. A black silouette of a palm frond stretches its leafy fingers from the top of the canvas. The outline of a gold rectangle split into three weaves in and out of the blobs and plants.

Caught Lucia Lucas’ recital this afternoon - and WOW! What an incredible powerhouse performer!

Her Q and A after was so warm and generous! Thank you #Uvic and #PacificOperaVictoria for bringing Lucia here and making the recital available to the community for free! #Arts #YYJArt
