It’s been a year since my mum passed. Missing her deeply today, but also feeling connected to her in tiny, magical ways.

Spending the day immersed in all things creative—lesson plans, meetings with teachers to shape their in-person workshops, and even learning a new little hinge to make paper move. Felt fitting, as she always encouraged me to try new creative pursuits.

Even toward the end, some of our heartfelt moments were simply sitting together, getting crafty.

Grief is hard. But today, it feels a little like love in motion 🤍

Always safe. I believe trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility.

TDOV takes place on March 31st each year to celebrate trans and non-binary people and raise awareness of discrimination faced by trans people worldwide.

More than ever trans people need to know they have support.

Remember: there is no such thing as a silent ally.

Thrilled to be part of the InglewooDIY Festival. Join me for Throw Kindness, a family-friendly workshop 💛

Using art as a medium, participants (ages 7+) will explore kindness from a self-compassionate perspective—learning how to treat themselves like a good friend.

In this hands-on experience, participants will create a functional art piece while engaging with STEAM and mindfulness concepts. Throw Kindness also offers a glimpse into CRATE Art Therapy Workshops for Kids—programs designed to help young people navigate emotions, build self-awareness, and strengthen their emotional intelligence through mindful, art-based practices.

✨ No artistic experience required—just a willingness to explore and create.

🗓 May 30
⏰ 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM

Back-to-back workshop kind of day 🎨

Started online with the kids, then rolled straight into a session with seniors—two completely different energies, both equally inspiring. I didn’t get a chance to capture the artwork in the moment, but while cleaning up, I found myself completely captivated by the “happy little accidents” left behind on the plate palettes.

Layers of color, unexpected blends… little reminders that creativity doesn’t stop when the session ends 💛

Working on some simple templates for this week’s free workshop ✂️

Kids, join me online this Tuesday, March 24 — in partnership with the Calgary Public Library — and we’ll craft your very own Calm Critter (register via link in bio).

It’s going to be easy, creative, and fun. Hope to see you there 🙂
