What a view from the train today while crossing the river! Thank you Edmonton. 🙏 #yeggers #edmonton #rivervalley #myyeg #sunset #theurbangypsy

For those of us who live in a safe country like Canada, we truly have won the lottery. These past few weeks I’ve had the pleasure of ‘adopting’ 2 amazing individuals from Africa. Both have received a coveted scholarship through WUSC where they will be studying at the UofA and automatically have become Permanent Residents. Both come from war torn countries and have been living in a refugee camp of almost 200 000 people for years. Meet Joseph and Claudine. Joseph is originally from South Sudan and Claudine, even though her homeland was Burundi she was born and raised in refugee camps throughout East Africa. They now have such a bright future and truly can teach us how grateful we should all be for growing up in a country where there is peace. #iamcanadian #grateful #welcometocanada #refugeeswelcome #theurbangypsy

Happy International Dog Day...ok so he’s thinks he’s a dog sometimes! #dogsofinstagram #internationaldogday #crazycatlady

Today is World Elephant Day. I feel absolutely privileged to have seen both the African and Asian Elephant in their natural habitat. They are beautifully amazing creatures and we really need to raise awareness for them and stop poaching. #worldelephantday #elephants #asianelephant #africanelephant #savetheelephants #theurbangypsy

August 8, 1969 was the day that these two lovebirds tied the knot. 50 years later they still continue to show their love and are cherished by their three daughters and four grandchildren. Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad ~ you two truly make my world go around. ❤️

Nature’s absolutely stunning! Just a typical day on Lake Okanogan...not! A girls weekend to such a beautiful place is truly a treasure. #lakeokanagan #kelowna #okanogan #girlsweekend #naturesbeauty

The Urban Gypsy does Ravenwood Music Festival. It may not be your typical July weather but we made the best of it anyway! @ravenwoodshpk #theurbangypsy #edmontonmade #yeggers #sherwoodpark

So this happened at work this week... I’m so lucky that I have people at work who will have fun with me.

Not sure what store will be going in to this location but Kingsway Mall sure makes temporary store fronts beautiful! #yeggers #kingsway #kingswaymall #edmonton #myedmonton

Blue Skies and Big Bridges! This is my Edmonton. #yeggers #myedmonton #edmonton #rivervalley #yeg

Friday be like... this poor guy had a rough rough day! 🤣

Today is World Refugee Day. I think it’s an important day to reflect and realize how many people walking among us have been displaced from terrible situations. This year I’m sure my life will be impacted in a positive way as I embark on being a part of a team that supports student refugees who have been selected on a scholarship as well as in September when I go to work in a refugee camp. Yesterday I was honored to meet a vibrant young woman who fled Syria and now is pursuing her PhD in Mathematics. It truly is inspiring to see someone who has literally been through hell but today can remain hopeful and wear a bright smile. If anyone has Netflix I highly recommend watching Born in Syria. A documentary told from the perspectives of children. #worldrefugeeday #worldrefugeeday2019 #begratefuleveryday #braverefugees

No filter needed. This is real life. This is Edmonton’s beautiful, green river valley. The smoke is so dense in our city today that you can literally taste it. I’ve honestly never seen it this bad in my life. #yeggers #edmontonsmoke #smokeydays #icantsee

Here’s another piece I made a few weeks ago. It’s alcohol inks on yupo paper but I mounted it on wood and covered it with resin. Does it make you think of a sun set too? #theurbangypsy #mixedmedia #yegartists #explore #edmontonmade #bycurated #corrocollective #whollyhandmade

Who else loves spring? #springtime #yeggers #ilovespring #flowersblooming #theurbangypsy

Some roads may seem like they never end. This is literally and figuratively! I captured this road in beautiful Brazil. #beautifulbrazil #brazil #longroads #roadtrip #explore #wanderlust #theurbangypsy

Remember that day when I was at Carnival? I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 months now! The Parade of Champions was truly an experience I’ll never forget! #riodejaneiro #riocarnival #riocarnaval2019 #brazil #beautifulbrazil #theurbangypsy

No filter needed with these pieces. Last week I took a class of inks on yupo paper. This was two out of the three I made. I love how the alcohol inks give such vibrant colours! #inksonyupo #yegmade #edmontonmade #yegartists #theurbangypsy

This is in the cutest town of Paraty, Brazil. Designed by the Portuguese to sit below sea level, they allow the tied to come in and out, cleaning the streets on a regular basis. Every time there is a full moon the streets are apparently completely flooded. #beautifulbrazil #brazil #paraty #paratystreets #unescoworldheritage #explore #theurbangypsy

We are just a tiny speck in this great big world we call home. We need to treat our home with more kindness. Happy Earth Day! #earthday #motherearth #happyearthday #brazil #beautifulbrazil #theurbangypsy
