A new month begins again, and although damp and overcast here, spring feels like it has finally arrived. I see grass peeking through the soil. My heart is set on blooms and bright spots ahead. After the rain and clouds clear, I look for the colours that come out.

These hopeful visuals are the inspiration for pieces like this one, titled "Today Tomorrow Always"—a custom art print featuring elegant script text and a soft rainbow overlay. Set to launch on Minted.com later this season.

This past week my entire Glisten wedding suite launched on . 💍 I get so giddy seeing all the items go live for the first time, and I'm totally in love with this all-in-one option!⁠

Simply fold, seal with stickers, and send—no envelope required. Each card includes a perforated RSVP postcard that’s addressed and ready for guests to drop in the mail. 📫 Snail mail couldn’t get any easier.

Exactly 5 years ago today, I started my morning on Breakfast Television Toronto being interviewed by Pay Chen, sharing the importance of handcraft and the joy of teaching others through lettering workshops. I remember being really impressed that Pay made a perfectly painted 'P' during the segment, holding a mic in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. I really miss those times I shared in workshop spaces with guests, all connecting over our love for art and practicing something new.

Hope to see you in a workshop again soon. 💙

Just 1 week away from our ✒️💙🖌️ Flourish workshop in with LigaturesYYZ and I'm excited to share a look at the kit our guests will get. Included: a fine art art marker pad, 2 of our fave brush pens, a sketching pencil, instruction booklet with drill sheets and practice guides, a personal notebook for practice/planning/notes, and a bundle of artist card stock for the final project pieces. It's a great set for stretching your skills to get next level.

And to top it all of, I've added a special gift to the kit; each guest will receive a full set of my Faux Ink tattoos so you can practice in style.

Mother's Day 🌷 is approaching and it's never too early to start thinking about ways to say 'thank you' for all that she does for us. One of the best things you can give mom is more quality time with you. So if you plan on joining our Flourish calligraphy workshop with Ligatures on May 5, why not book a seat for her too? Or bring a bestie and you can practice while spending time together. It's a perfect Sunday date!
