So… who gets to decide when you’re officially an artist? 🎨

Is there an application? A secret handshake? A committee I should know about?

I wrote a poem about it. Naturally. 😂

It’s called “I Called Myself an Artist”, and I’d love 3½ minutes of your time.

Artists (and artists-in-denial), I have a question: When did you start calling yourself one?

See you this weekend!

I have a new project on the go! These old chalkboards are getting a fresh start as bold graphic paintings for a cafeteria makeover here in Yellowknife. They’re wiped, primed, and drying across my livingroom, which has officially become a studio again.

Follow along for the transformation! If your business has a space that needs some colour, send me a message.

Yellowknife’s newest piece of public art is a hand painted bin, and it’s heading to Old Town soon! 🦊🐦‍⬛

I am so grateful to see my artwork become part of our community’s landscape. Getting to make a living as an artist in the North still feels like a dream, and I never take it for granted. Thank you to Det'on Cho Kavanaugh Waste Removal Services for sharing my work with their customers.

Would you like a painted bin in front of your business? Reach out to Kavanaugh for the details. I would love to paint one for you!

Which Yellowknife business should get one next? Tell me in the comments, and share this with a business owner who would love one. 💛

My MEd in Arts-Based Educational Inquiry at UBC is easily one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. Some days the academic reading makes me feel like a confused middle schooler meeting Shakespeare for the first time. Other days, my studies hand me scissors and a highlighter, and I get to pass the result in as scholarship.

I’ve always known I wanted to be a teacher. Writing this poem found something more honest hiding inside that certainty: becoming an art teacher was never one fixed answer. It was a different way of being who, what, and where I want to be.

Send me a message to claim him before he drifts away.

Another great day at the office! I’ve had to move inside because paint when it’s colder than 10°C does funny things.

What is going on?! 😂 My follower count has exploded and I have no idea why, but I am so glad you found me and my artwork!

Where are you from? Drop your town in the comments.

I’d love to know how far Facebook has pushed my paintings out into the world.

Every cent social media pays me for these videos goes back to another artist in the North. First purchase: a fish scale art piece by Jennifer Buckley of Hay River, from the Down to Earth Gallery in Yellowknife! See her work here: Aboriginal Fish Scale Art

Like, follow, save, or comment, so I can keep putting Meta money in the pockets of other northern artists!
