What's happening on Patreon? For 2026, I've been trying to teach myself a little art history in digestible little bites and it's really made me think about my relationship with my own art.
Original doodles have gone out in the Happy Mail alongside some Maggie postcards from that last reel, haha.

I thrifted this dish thinking maybe it was some neat, little decorative dish that could be useful as a watercolour palette... and as soon as I got home I saw the olive branch and I realized that it's actually an olive dish lol. Feels a bit silly now for some reason. 😅

I sent my sad frog to this show thinking maybe they wouldn't like to show butt in public, but sad frog got in! 😆

Throwback to this cute dog portrait I had the pleasure of painting earlier this year. I love being able to add a bit of colour to the world!

This year's Petite theme is probably going to be "Special Delivery Part Two" after all, because it was about making the world kinder and brighter, I think there's still a LOT of work to do on that 😅

I keep trying to reason myself out of this persistent anxiety where I'm always afraid to show up to my scheduled events out of fear that I'd be forgotten and told to go away.
Well, well, well, guess what happened today lol

I love keeping a garden, even though I don't have the correct light for one. 😅 I guess I just like to see all the little changes day by day, as it feels truly alive.
So even if my blueberry only gives me three blueberries this year, I will cherish them like a gift!

You finally get out of work, you find a cute bug, and perhaps that bug happens to lead you to the South Surrey Rec Centre, and maybe you'll dare to go inside and see the new cafe?
Oh yeah, there's some art in there too, I guess.
June 7 - July 1 in the Turnbull Gallery!
14601 20 Ave, Surrey, BC

Patreon mail day! Here's a drawing of a peony after a rainstorm.
I was waiting alone outside and had the urge to scroll on my phone. instead, I got lost in ambient sounds: gutters dripping, wind chimes tinkling, trees whispering, crows cawing their warnings. Surprisingly nice to be bored for a bit.

Local friends, the Surrey Arts Centre is a fantastic place to get together for a bit. Very peaceful, air conditioned, full of art. There's a gift shop, a theatre, and a whole garden to walk through in the park just outside 😊 And you can vote for your favourite art!

I recently painted a bird who makes whimsical keys that will never open any doors, but the painting wasn't real enough for me. I hoarded all these found treasures for years, why not try assemblage? This is way better!

Overlooking the yellow crayon factory, of course.

Thanks for coming out to the White Rock Farmers Market! Turned out to be a lot more sunshine and smiles than were in the original forecast 😊. It was oil pastel day and I couldn't resist a little colouring!
