The pillar of Chinese Medicine is finding balance with nature and syncing with the seasons ✨

The best advice for fall: nourish the lungs ✨

Autumn is a time for warming, grounding foods that support digestion and prevent cold from entering the body.
• Favor cooked foods: soups, stews, congee, roasted root vegetables.
• Include seasonal produce: pumpkin, squash, sweet potato, apple, pear, daikon radish.
• Use warming spices (in moderation): cinnamon, ginger, garlic.
Avoid dry, spicy, and fried foods, which can aggravate dryness.
• Stay hydrated: drink warm water and herbal teas like chrysanthemum or licorice.

In TCM, wind and cold invade through the neck and back, weakening the immune system.
• Wear scarves or high collars, especially in the early morning and evening.
• Avoid getting chilled, especially after sweating (e.g. after workouts or showers).

Fall is a time of reflection and release, much like how trees shed their leaves.
• Lung energy is associated with grief and sadness—take time to process emotions.
• Practice breathing exercises, Qigong, or gentle meditation to stay centered.
• Journal, clean out your space, or let go of things you no longer need (emotional or physical).

As daylight shortens, your body benefits from more rest.
• Go to bed a bit earlier.
• Wake with the sun if possible.
• Support your Yin energy by slowing down in the evenings—less screen time, more calm.

Time for a refresh ✨
The first time I painted this mural was almost 20 years ago!
‘Ode to the River valley’

This mural was first inspired by Devon’s 75th anniversary. This got me thinking about our town’s history- oil- dinosaurs- sturgeon!

When you get down to what really defines a place, it’s the people and it’s the LAND ✨

In this mural you will find sturgeon, wild roses, and Saskatoon berries ✨
All very plentiful in Devon’s river valley

7 grandfather teachings ✨

I had the honour of creating this work of art for my boys school, .

I am so grateful for this opportunity and that the students get to learn about these sacred Indigenous teachings.

Each student contributed a piece of their own artwork in the small circles that create the flowers. It brings me so much joy seeing how proud and excited each student is when they find their piece.

Adds a nice pop of colour to the hallway don’t ya think?

This is me ✨

I feel pulled into art making lately. There has been new inspiration, new opportunities, and new mediums.

Creating has a way of expressing the things that cannot be expressed. Brings colour and joy into new spaces.

Get ready for some new art here!
