What am I up to?

Year in Review

Wow—what a year it’s been! Before things get wild again, I wanted to share a little recap of the amazing (and slightly chaotic) journey this past year has brought. Here’s a small list 😉

• Winter Small Works 2024 – Art Gallery of Greater Victoria
Kicked off the year with some little gems in one of my favourite shows.

• “This is Us” – Group show at the Gage Gallery
Such a fun and meaningful exhibit to be part of.

• A few epic commissions
Thank you to everyone who trusted me to bring their ideas to life!

• Exhibiting at the Saanich Municipal Hall (Feb–April)
A lovely opportunity to share my work with the community.

• Island travels with my brother
Gathering inspiration (and sibling rivalry energy) for our September show Rivalry – Sister VS Brother.

• Greeting cards now in the AGGV gift shop!
Still can’t believe this one. :O

• Teaching a 3D sunflower workshop
So much joy in sharing creative play with others.

• Summer Small Works 2025
Three pieces accepted, two sold right in the show, and the last one sold privately—thank you!

• Sooke Secret Garden Tour & Art Walk
Huge love to Sue—your garden and friendship mean the world.

• Moss Street Paint-In
Absolutely epic this year. Perfect weather, massive turnout—a true highlight.

• San Josef Bay with the fam
A soul-filling break in between the madness.

• Sooke Music & Arts Festival + Bowker Creek Brush-Up
Back-to-back art joy! This island’s art community continues to blow me away.

• THE BIG SHOW: Rivalry – Sister VS Brother
What a ride! A massive success and such a meaningful milestone. Thank you to everyone who came out to support. (And no, I am not planning the next one yet. I need a nap.)

Coming Up Next

And because slowing down isn’t in my vocabulary… here’s what’s next:

• Winter Small Works 2025
I’ll have two pieces in this year’s show. Can’t wait to see the display—they always outdo themselves.

• Art Peace at the Gage Gallery (Dec 9–24)
Sharing bright, cheerful work for these strange times. Opening reception: Dec 13, 5–8pm.

• Square Foot Show – Dec 11
Thrilled to be part of this one! More details coming soon.

A Big Thank You

This year I sold 16 paintings, including a special piece that went home with the sweetest newlyweds who wanted a meaningful memento from their honeymoon (other than the honeymoon itself 😄).

Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and for being part of this wild, wonderful journey. I truly couldn’t do it without you.

Here’s to more colour, more connection, and maybe… just maybe… a tiny bit of rest before the new year 💛
