Myself and a few other artists will be at Isabella's Cafe in Downtown Oshawa this Friday offering a variety of unique, hand-crafted items perfect for gift giving.

Downtown will be buzzing with activity as it also plays host to the annual Christmas Market (November 30th and Decebmer 1st) and Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Hope to see you there!

Tomorrow, Tomorrow: We'll start the day tomorrow…


I know this post is late but I wanted to let everyone know I will be tabling at the Broken Arts Festival tomorrow! The event takes place in Oshawa's Memorial Park from 11 am—10pm.
Hope to see you there!

p.s. the necklace you see here is my newest design! Created for the Peony Festival I participated in… I was inspired to use my upcycled plastic technique to create peony flowers :o) I am very pleased with the results!

Spring Sprang Sprung



Spring is finally here! I'm not sure why, but I found this past winter to be an especially long one so I am very happy that the temperature is climbing and the gardens are blooming!


I'll be spending more time in the studio creating new pieces for the 8th Annual Peony Festival. This free event takes place on June 16 & 17 in the heart of the beautiful Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens.

The peonies are stunning and the event is always enjoyable—hope to see you there!

Culture Days 100 Mile Finds [east] Market

When I found out that 100 Mile Finds would be participating in Culture Days with an artist market in Toronto, I offered to organize a satellite version for 100 Mile Finds vendors east of the city. Thus, the 100 Mile Finds Market [east] event was born!

Three incredibly talented artists joined me at Bola! in downtown Oshawa to offer workshops and demonstrations from noon until 4pm.



Glass artist Jeanette Bartosik spent the day creating fabulous wire-wrapped jewelry and played host to our mini-marketplace.




Dawn Barbieri of the eco-friendly company Albertine Dawn offered a “How To Add Color To Your Decor With Accessories” workshop.

Lesley Kelz of SquidPress hosted a collage workshop where participants embellished giant letters with fabric, paper and yarn.




I offered an upcycling workshop that had guests using discarded photographs to make paper ornaments. A few participants said they would be making more of these for their Christmas tree this year!



Thanks to all the artists for agreeing to participate and for making the day a success!
