Joyful magical unique vibrant whimsical art for your heART
My recent public art projects include the “Elephant Garden” mural outside Railway City Tourism, St Thomas Ontario, part of the “Track to the Future” project, a painted picnic bench for “Celebrate Simcoe: The Global Garden project” placed on the lawn at the Norfolk Arts Centre in downtown Simcoe, a painted bench for ‘Visions of the City’ at the Hortons Market, St Thomas and a Video Conference Platform Digital Backgrounds project for Mural Routes Canada.
I had the amazing experience of painting a picnic bench for the Horton’s Farmers Market in Downtown St Thomas Ontario.
I wanted to create a mandala to represent community gathering in a circle. The colours are bright and cheerful to add more joy. The shapes within are organic and some are plantlike to represent the harvest and bounty we visit the Market for. Vine-like swirling designs on the bench sections are symbolic of growth. You may also see this mandala as a sunflower, a symbol of hope. I hope this painted picnic bench brings much happiness and magic to our community.
Step-by-step visuals of my process are below.
This was an amazing project to be part of. Thank you so much Mural Routes and Canada Council for the Arts!

A Festival of Feminine Power + Artistry is an online course…
…with 21 different painting workshops, taught by 21 different Creatively Fit Coaches & a few Special Guests.
…within which you get to explore your own Feminine Power + Artistry, as each featured teacher shares how she is connecting to her Feminine Power + Artistry.
…that invites you into a deeper knowing of who you are and what makes you SO awesome!
..in which each of the 21, approximately 60 minute workshops, explores an aspect of Feminine Power + Artistry, and / or a specific Goddess who represents a pantheon of Feminine Power + Artistry.
…where I will be painting a Goddess Freya who has empowered me to reclaim my own personal sovereignty, abundance and much more in my workshop.
…in which you can explore the Creatrix archetype with Creatively Fit Coach Colleen Talbot and the qualities of the Empress with Creatively Fit Coach Desiree East.
…with Guest Teacher Tahverlee Anglen painting the Witch Goddess.
…with Karen Adamski, Shama Mama, and CCFC, painting Grandmother Moon.
…in which you and CCFC Kim Sales, Lantern Light Studio, can paint the Goddess Brigid together.
…that will include an interview with me & each featured teacher, released throughout April and May 2022, to expand upon how the knowing we discover during our painting practice can ripple out into the art that is our lives.
…that requires ZERO painting experience. We have a whole lesson just for beginner painters to help you “remember” the basics quick & easy! This “studio” specializes in creating safe, supportive and inspiring space for ALL Life Artists.
