I’ve had the opportunity to vend @pne_playland with @canoecultures. Opening day was yesterday and today is day two (my last day). If you get the chance to come out over the next couple of weeks make sure to check out all the vendors here.

Also testing out a new product, wood earrings I designed and my hubby manufactured ♡

Another series of paintings from this year (sorta).

I poured the colourful latex paint on these 12" x 12" canvases back in 2019 for a university project. This year I decided to add some of my Indigenous art on them to create one of a kind pieces featuring Raven, Frog and Otter. All are sold.

I'll Have a Sazerac with That, Acrylic on Panel, 24" x 36", 2023

This piece was inspired by my experience in New Orleans in the spring of 2022. I had the most incredible opportunity to design a mural for a levee in the French Quarter, which was then executed by Louisiana artist JoLean Barkley. The mural project was put together by the Consulate General of Canada, the Office of New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, and the Arts Council of New Orleans. I was flown out to the Big Easy last year by Canadian Consulate for the unveiling of the mural. I saw gators in the swamp! In fact, it was the same bayou that inspired the artwork for Princess and the Frog which is one of my favourite Disney films. The alligator’s reflection is of Indigenous design, a call to the mural itself, all surrounded in the flora of a Louisiana swamp and framed in an oyster shell. I will never forget my first experience eating oysters (I haven't had a good once since) with my mother, Noella De Maina – Consul, Foreign Policy and Public Affairs and Consul General of Canada, Dr. Rachel McCormick who also was the one who suggested I paint something inspired by my experience and told me to try a Sazerac with that.

Some 4" x 4" paintings. The two on the left were a part of The Big Tiny exhibition at the @karitonartgallery and the two on the right I brought with me to the @newwestcraft Indigenous Market. All are sold! But I still have a few of these tiny canvases lying around for future use!

I'm a little behind in posting this, but in June I finished up a second mural at John MacLure Community School.

I decided to illustrate he salmon life cycle in almost a story book or colouring page theme. The mural is located in a large "nook" in the hallway at the main entrance featuring two spawning sockeye. Trailing behind behind the mural is additional flowing imagery of salmon eggs, fry, and alevin. It was a challenge taking a full photo of the space due to limitations of the hallway space and lighting. You can also see the Thunderbird mural I created last year out the window.

All set up @khatsahlano! If you’re around come stop by, there are lots of artists, vendors, yummy foods, music, and all the good things.
