Barrie Traffic Box 2023

Finally snapped a pic of this vinyl-wrapped traffic box that I designed a graphic for! This is located right at a little trailhead in Barrie Ontario, with imagery inspiring you to get moving! Love Barrie for always finding ways to employ local artists and help brighten up the city!!!!

Skate Deck painting

Spare Room Barrie is a shared artist’s studio located downtown that houses many local artists, and supports a lot of art-related events in the city. The studio provided about 40 local artists with blank skate decks to paint for their upcoming fundraiser art show. The show opens tonight where all the decks will go up for auction! Great way to raise money for the arts community downtown 🙂

Barrie Bus Shelter Vinyl-Wraps

The City of Barrie recently hired 5 local artists to create designs to decorate various bus shelters across the city. The designs had to respond to a poem written by Barrie’s Poet Laureate Ty the Poetess about bus travel. This was an exciting project to take part in and I am so happy with the way the artwork looks installed as a vinyl-wrap! The city gets more beautiful every month and local artists get to make roots here because of that hurray <3333

Thank you to Carol-Ann and Yasmeen for all the information they provided to help complete this project, and thank you to the City of Barrie for continuing to find ways to create work for artists.

Brightening Barriers

This year I was selected to participate in the Brightening Barriers installation in Downtown Barrie! My design was chosen to decorate the patio of Bohemia on Dunlop Street. I’m so happy with the outcome I think it really brightens up the strip! All the other artworks on the other patios are amazing as well!

I built window frames out of wood, and painted quaint little scenes inside. Most of the frames are inspired by window shapes along the downtown strip, so you can imagine these sweet moments are happening all around you!

Really thankful for this opportunity. And to my dudes Peter, Cam, and Wendell for all the help with making this project come to life!

Spring in the City

I miss being able to run across the street in thirty seconds to buy fresh flowers and the best Indian takeout in the area. Though now I am able to sit under a willow tree in a quiet backyard and that’s nice. Give and take.

Happy birthday to my aunt today 🙂 spring babies are the best babies.

Sparkly Fire

I painted a bunch of the same log for a batch of New Years cards (I never get them done in time for the holidays) that I mailed to some friends and family. When you put all the paintings together they make this burning log! I love to do little painted frame animations like this.

Moving Feelings

I’ve moved to a new city! It was really tough to leave Toronto after 11 years and the process of settling in to a new home is long. I miss so many things but I’m really enjoying my new Muskoka surroundings. I’m starting to get back to life. Thank you for your patience during this time 😌
