Read MoreCommunity is key for me, it’s been my New Year’s word for the past few years. COVID sent me on a path of self-discovery and that path led me to connect. I was lacking it so much that I became depressed, or at least I think I realized my depression was a symptom of isolation. So this year has been a year of connection for me.
I have been renting space at Doris Land since January 2022. The studio is run by Alex Waber, an incredible photographer and creative human being. To further this net of connection I pitched the idea of an Art Collective to Alex. This week we hosted our first one and it was a huge success.
If you are in Vancouver follow Doris Land on Social Media, we are going to host these events once a month and I am looking forward to growing this community.
Hello, how is everyone doing during these crazy weather days?
I never thought I would be a part of the market circuit but guess what, I am and it is all happening so easily that I have decided to roll with it for a while.
I will be at the Lot 19 Market on Thursday, August 18th all day long, swing by and say Hi.
Lot 19 is located at 855 West Hastings Street. There will be a heap of local artists, so feel free to swing by to say Hi.
I will have my up-cycled clothing and denim featuring my designs and embroidery along with stickers and buttons.
Wow, I had my first official pop-up market last Sunday and am now in 3 more this summer.
I am so impressed with my interactions with everyone that I want to do this again, and again!
It sure beats tailgating on the yard sales in my neighbourhood and popping up at the beach or on the sidewalk. Having an organized venue and event is the bee’s knees and I’m smitten!
Starting with June 26 at the Vancouver Mural Festival.
The next one is the Wayfarer Market and a group design show at a Gallery.
I will definitely be sharing all of the details here. I would love to see your face so please stop by.
Strip payment is available and everything is $25 or 2 for $40 with a variety of pins and stickers too.
So I had a wonderful time. The flight was two hours late so I stayed in a hostel my first night there, I had the reservation in my pocket just in case I needed a place to stay. When I got up the next day after a few hours of sleep I got coffee for us and walked to my friend’s door. It took her a minute to answer the door. There was a huge staircase and I left my suitcase and coffee at the top after ringing the bell and waited at the bottom.
I sent a text just in case she didn’t hear the doorbell because she was in the shower but she was just waking up and trying to get her head around the day so she hesitated in answering the door. When she did I ran up the stairs, offered her the coffee and then we hugged and cried for a while. It was the best time I have ever had on a vacation, none of it was planned, and it was an entire 7 days of magic.
I had a scooter tour with a friend, went to the art gallery and spent the afternoon that included live performance. I walked so much that the souls of my shoes are a little smaller. I had a gourmet meal, found a co-working and co-living space that welcomed me with open arms, we spent hours talking while I visited for the 7 days, I learned how to take the metro and the bus, I met so many amazing people, drank champagne, took a heap of photos, worked a bit, relaxed, found some great things for my friend’s new apartment, learned about the local mural artists, spent time in a park, hiked Mt. Royal, sweated in 30-degree heat, spoke as much french as I could and was welcomed in English when I couldn’t manage, slept in, did yoga and ate really good food. There is more and as soon as I remember it all I will tell you.
Montreal, I am in love.
