Queen West Art Crawl

September, 2018

OMG !!! I was accepted to go to @EnvisionFestival as an artist! 😆😆😆AHHHh!! I will be selling paintings, prints, and life painting and living it up in the jungle for 4 days !!! Can’t wait !! 🌴 🌅 🏖
I am making new paintings inspired by my experience attending the festival last year.
Gotta dust off my best dance moves and festival wear.💃 Costa Rica here I come ... three trips and the fourth one’s free 😂😂😂😂

Started 2019 drawing and dancing and painting dancers. 😍 💃 (...still in progress)
.
My resolutions are to get enough sleep and take more time for myself... and deal with the guilt of it. I am afraid to take too much time for myself, it makes me feel selfish and that I should spend more time with others. Be more of service. I was taught that being of service means self-sacrifice. Relearning that I can have fun and do me and still being comfort and joy to others.
Lessons in progress just as my painting.
I hope 2019 will have as many lessons as 2018.

What a year 2018 has been!
Looking back, I am learning the same lessons again and again.
Presence, authenticity and honesty matter beyond all else. This is the year when I started speaking my mind and my world has changed completely.
Change is hard and some people are throwing tantrum at me no longer being the sweet little me I used to be, but it has been my best year yet. I have never felt so much love and freedom before.
The pictures that most of liked are the ones where I felt most freedom. Somehow it shows through. 😍
What will 2019 bring ?

Looking back to the last few years and how much my style has progressed and grown. Each one of those pieces was my pride and joy at one moment, only to then be replaced with another one. Let’s see where the next few years take me.

It’s not easy being a woman in today’s society. I need more role models of strength, grace and vulnerability. How to take no 💩 and do it in style.
Dedicating this drawing to my muse @vivekshraya, who perfectly embodies vulnerability and strength. She can own her fear and insecurities in today’s fucked up society and also stand up and call us out on how we are treating one another.
Since my partner transitioned to living as a woman, I have been needing strength of my own, especially in dealing with people who don’t understand, don’t want to understand or just pretend she doesn’t exist. When I need the strength to face and call people out on their actions I usually pump her music in my 🎧 🎶 🎵
Who do you turn to when you need strength?

I am realizing more and more, people will only take me as seriously as I take myself. I have to believe in myself and be willing to invest in myself if others are to invest in me. No more playing small in 2019! .
Decided to splurge and have my art photographed properly. 🎥 No wonder my photos never turned out this good before! Let’s hope they are blessed with the good luck of many approved applications. ✔️

This drawing went to Montreal and I miss it. As it can take up to 30+ hours to make a drawing, I feel like I get to know each character. When they are on my studio table, I tell them good morning and goodnight. I wonder about the home this went to and the friends it made there....

When anyone buys my stuff I do a happy dance. ❤️💃👯‍♀️🕺🏻 I try to only get presents from small makers and artists across Canada. That way the more happy dances I do the more happy dances I get to spread around as well. 🕺🏻💃❤️🔥
