Read excerpt
I’m existing in the thick of market prep now, wishing I had been a little more intentional a little sooner. With the new trade war happening I’ve found myself feeling oddly patriotic. Us Canadians have never been known for the same level of enthusiasm as our southern neighbours—I don’t know that I could quite as easily find shorts, bathing suits, capes, overalls etc. with a Canadian flag on them. But if the current president hasn’t done anything else, he’s made Canadians a lot more proud to be C
The World Needs Your Art (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As someone who is both a creative and a person who cares deeply for the environment, I’ve spent the last few months internally struggling with the burden of creating more ‘things’. When we consider just how much stuff exists in the world, it’s hard to think about making anything else that isn’t consumable.

I’ve taken the time to invest in a decent table set up, a standard sized tent, a nice chair, a point of sale system, but all my markets have been in collaboration with my community studio. This teamwork is a good situation for the both of us. As someone who is a shy introvert, its nice that I’m not solely responsible for carrying the social interactions and the studio owner benefits from an extra set of hands to help set up, tear dow
Art Therapy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is a day late, but thankfully for us, art can be done anywhere, at any time. This week it was nice to spend some time reflecting on past experiences and how meaningful these moments are to us. Concerts are the perfect place to experience collective effervescence, which is described as “the shared sense of energy, joy, and unity that people wheel when they gather for a common purpose.” You can also experience this feeling during religious experiences, cheering for a sports team, or marching
