This piece is a present for one of my close friends. She’s requested this over a year ago so it’s about time I actually follow through. #edmontonmade #edmontonart #edmontonartist #mixedmedia #hamsa #dancer #theurbangypsy
Working on more art...whenever I see a butterfly fly around me I always think it’s my grandma visiting. #edmontonart #edmontonartist #edmontonmade #bycurated #etsyedmonton #mixedmedia #butterfly #theurbangypsy
Today is World Mental Health Day and looking back through old journals I can see how far I’ve come. My life is no longer defined by my size and the view from up here is far more beautiful! #worldmentalhealthday #edrecovery #recoveryispossible
This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving and if I look back over the last year I have so many incredible, amazing things to be thankful for. I chose this photo because when I think back to my trip to Uganda I distinctly remember this village and all the joyful little children. Every time I go back to Africa what gets me the most is the joyfulness that the people have. They have so very little in material things but they have love and are spilling with joy from the inside. When I come home people have so many things yet are empty from within. We definitely need to learn a thing or two over here. ~~~~~ I am so grateful for the people I have in my life. My family and friends mean the world to me and without their constant laughter and support I am not sure where I’d be. I’m thankful for waking up each day relatively healthy. I say relatively because of all my aches and pains 🤦‍♀️ But I have the ability to move and experience the sun on my face and the wind at my back. My life is peaceful. I don’t have to worry about my next meal or whether my house will be standing. I have fur babies to cuddle at the end of the day and a warm bed. Even though life can’t always go the way we want it to we need to be grateful for our own path and all of the wonderful quirky things that come with it. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! 🍁🙏
Moo! This latest piece will be available tomorrow at The Night Market at the Aviation Museum! Come down for an Oktoberfest Themed Market with a beer gardens and all! Friday & Saturday 3-11. #edmontonnightmarket #justalittlenightmarket #yegartist #edmontonmade #edmontonart #cowsofinstagram #mixedmedia #theurbangypsy
I love this wicked statue outside of the Shaw Conference Centre. Nothing says the Alberta Prairies like a good ol buffalo! #yeggers #edmonton #myedmonton #alberta #yegart #thisismyhome
Edmonton’s beautiful river valley in the fall! So happy to capture a pic without snow ... thank goodness it melted! #yeggers #myedmonton #edmonton #edmontonrivervalley #fallfeels
What else is there to do when you’ve been sick for days and slept for too many hours? Make a new art piece!! #cabinfever #shoplocal #edmontonmade #yegartist #yegart #edmontonnightmarket #etsyedmonton #etsymadeincanada #mixedmedia #catart #crazycatlady
It never fails that every time I’m in a market I I fall in love with something from someone else’s booth. Check out this unique photography on wood panels by Erin @dendesigns_yxe All of her work supports Western Canadian cancer patient lodges. #shoplocal #bycurated #localart
Today is World Gorilla Day and I couldn’t be more honored to have come face to face with these incredible beings earlier this year. Let’s save the gorillas with @edwildlifefund #worldgorilladay #savethegorillas #edwildlifefund #gorillas #explore #adventure #uganda #africa
Call me the crazy call lady, but these are the moments that melt my heart to a pile of mush! #catsofinstagram #ilovecats #crazycatlady
Sorry to bombard you but here are the last 3 of this fall collection. Market marathon here I come! #shoplocal #edmontonmade #yegmade #malanecklace #malajewelery #edmontonnightmarket #etsymadeincanada #etsyedmonton #bycurated #theurbangypsy
Last batch of Malas for my up and coming markets! #malanecklace #malajewelery #bycurated #edmontonnightmarket #etsymadeincanada #edmontonetsy #yegmade #yegart #theurbangypsy
I spy with my little eye rhinos right next to the big city! This was Nairobi National Park - just literally outside the city live the amazing African wildlife! #nairobi #nairobinationalpark #africa #iloveafrica #kenya #wanderlust #instatravel
I think I might have taken my last bike ride of the year but getting to hear and see the Canada Geese makes it the best ride of the summer! #canadageese #myedmonton #yeggers #canada
And a few more Malas to add to the collection. The second one doesn’t pick up the amazing purple colours like it does in person. #malajewelery #malanecklace #shoplocal #edmontonnightmarket #bycurated #etsyedmonton #yegmade #theurbangypsy
I’ve been working my tail off creating new Mala designs for my upcoming shows later this month. Here are 3 newbies up for sale... #malajewelery #malanecklace #shoplocal #edmontonmade #yegartist #edmontonnightmarket #bycurated #etsymadeincanada #onthespotpopups #theurbangypsy
Just thinking back to the day I got to see what ‘monkeying around’ was really like! Chimpanzees in the wild ~ nothing quite like it. #nationalwildlifeday #chimpanzee #wildchimpanzees #uganda #africa #amazingwildlife #exploreafrica #adventure #wanderlust
Beautiful at any size! This piece will also be up for sale at my next market in a few weeks. #mermaid #mermaidart #shoplocal #yegartist #edmontonnightmarket #bycurated #etsymadeincanada #artofinstagram #mixedmedia
My latest canvas showcases Ganesha. One of the most well known Hindu deities that you can see in so many countries that I’ve been. I myself have always been drawn to Ganesha. This piece will be for sale at my next show later this month. #edmontonmade #yegartist #ganesha #ganeshart #bycurated #shoplocal #etsymadeincanada #edmontonnightmarket #theurbangypsy
