I’ve been creating up a storm getting ready for my next show which is coming up this weekend. Here are a few Mala’s that will be up for sale at the Made in Alberta show at the Shaw Conference Centre on Nov 17 &18th. @onthespotpopups #yegmade #yegmadelocal #madeinedmonton #edmontonmade #mala #malajewelery #malanecklaces #theurbangypsy
I’ve been busy creating these days. This last canvas encompasses both the Hamsa Hand as well as Ganesha. How I love the profound symbols and gods of other cultures! #hamsaart #handoffatima #ganesha #yegartist #edmontonmade #shoplocal #mixedmedia #bycurated #etsymadeincanada
Road trip’n through Wine Country and then down to Hicksville USA. The scenery is absolutely stunning! #okanagan #fallfeels #roadtrip #ohcanada #usa
Oh Canada! 🇨🇦 #ohcanada #fallfeels #fallinpenticton
Happy Halloween Everyone! This throwback is probably circa 1983 with my sis Jennifer as the punk, Momma Eleanor as the clown and me as the witch. Wishing you a spoooooky Halloween! #throwback #happyhalloween #halloweenthrowback
Here’s a piece that brings me back to my time in Zanzibar where I got to release the sea turtles! This one will also be for sale at the Made in Alberta Market in mid November. #mixedmedia #yegartist #yegart #yegmade #turtleart #madeinalberta #seaturtle #theurbangypsy
So apparently it’s National Cat Day or something. And it just wouldn’t be right if the crazy cat lady didn’t post a pic of her cats! Happy Cat Day Everyone! 😜 #catsofinstagram #nationalcatday #crazycatlady #ilovecats
I’ve been working on a few pieces over the past few weeks so I hope you like this one! I wanted to capture the graceful motion of fish. This new piece will be for sale at the Made in Alberta Market November 17&18 at the Shaw Conference Centre. #edmontonart #edmontonmade #yegartist #yegart #mixedmedia #fishart #madeinalberta #theurbangypsy
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

Where in the world is she?
