A couple clips from yesterday’s First Saturday s A couple clips from yesterday’s First Saturday salon concert. It was AMAZING! Big success. Thanks to Tamami Maitland and Ian Wijesinghe for their beautiful music and our wonderful audience. Very memorable. Thanks to John Gojevic, Lily Eskandari, Victoria Mitchell, Andres Salaz and Leah Hoeve, and advisordanny for offering volunteer support. So appreciated!!! Glen Brauer for his powerful friend-connecting platform, buddytree. Most of all, thank you to Marjorie Eliot and Rudel Drears in Harlem for inspiring my salon concert series. It’s a dream come true! One that slowly took shape in my heart over many years. How I still miss Harlem! Marjorie’s apartment jazz matinee concert gave me one of the best days of all my two years living in New York. So happy to be recreating this experience in my own way for the Vancouver community and beyond. You are a remarkable lady, Ms. Marjorie! #harlem #marjorieeliot #rudeldrears #salonjazzharelm #parlorentertainment #harlemjazz #vancitylife #vancityfuncity #respect #artandmusic

2022 buzzed with milestones, transformation and re 2022 buzzed with milestones, transformation and reconnection. The year began with a presentation to Canadian Federation for University Women, viewable on YouTube. I enjoyed connecting with this impactful group!

In spring, I participated in the 100 Day Project, creating and sharing a new artwork daily. I explored new mediums while further developing my artistic voice. I released my music online and jammed for the first time. I entered my third year of studying guitar with Mike Ferraro from Long & McQuade. I also completed a large, narrative painting, Between the Light and explored new ways to include embroidery in my artwork.

I steered giving energies towards First Saturday, a regional open art studio walk like the Crawl yet held the first Saturday of every month. Artist membership grew 33% year-over-year despite a new, annual membership fee. We began to see more visitors! I also hit a 1,000 follower milestone with my own art Instagram account. The prestigious Canadian Cancer Society Daffodil Ball returned after a few years halted by the pandemic. I was delighted to receive their invitation to donate again to this important cause. I celebrated 10 years cancer free in 2022! I sold several works this year including Take Flight, Mi Amor My Love, and Keepers of the Coast among others. 35% of the proceeds of latter went towards protecting the environment through Central Coast Indigenous Resource Alliance. I hosted my first art demo in my art studio for about 25 attendees!

Visiting art museums and travelling again locally and internationally was inspiring! As several dear ones are in the US, it was a milestone to finally reconnect after three years!

Exhibition highlights include groups shows with Jen Tough Gallery’s Artist Alliance and The Gallery George. My work was sold in the secondary market. I also participated in my third Eastside Culture Crawl. I was lucky to be curated into their paid exhibition, Next, at The Cultch!

I love being an artist and am so grateful the privilege. Thanks for being part of my community. Thanks to my collectors!! Your support means the world to me. Onward and upward into 2023! Happy New Year! #happynewyear #eastsideatelierartists

SOLD! So happy this amazing, West Coast beauty fou SOLD! So happy this amazing, West Coast beauty found its forever home with a longtime collector. They can feel great knowing their beautiful, new original art will enliven the walls in their home, support an artist’s career, and help protect the environment. 35% of proceeds will go to initiatives related to Central Coast Indigenous Resource Alliance. The name of this painting was inspired by a film, Keepers of the Coast, about protecting BC’s coast. I chose this group as I’ve had the pleasure of doing a lot of work with people from this region over the years. I respect their voice and know the funds will be in good hands. Their healthy environment is ours. We are all connected! We’re working out the donation details. I’ll keep you posted! 🙂

2022 marks 10 years cancer-free! Once I was very d 2022 marks 10 years cancer-free! Once I was very depressed and reluctantly went to my doctor who found a lump in my throat. Soon I had a many doctors, tests, appointments, radiation and a surgery. I’m lucky everything went well as the cancer was advanced. My thyroid was removed. I’m on drugs for life. Treatment made me feel over-caffeinated for two years following. I sounded hoarse for six months and had whiplash. I stopped singing and had throat spasms. I occasionally I still do when dehydrated. I’m well now and have an excellent prognosis. I try to carefully manage my energy, including physical and mental health. While 2012 was a difficult year, it was also a great gift. I studied mindfulness meditation focused on the teachings of Jon Kabat Zinn and Michael Lee, among others. I explored food as medicine. I discovered many healing modalities. Shortly after, I launched a successful raw chocolate company. Health is a key value of mine. Mind, body and spirit are often woven into or at the centre of my art. I’m eternally grateful to @cancersociety and @bccancer for this second chance! I’m also grateful to my friends and family. I use every moment I can to live my best life and to help others. Quick tip! Take Vitamin D. I’m not perfect, but I continue to try to manage my health well. Sometimes I work too hard. I don’t want to waste a moment! Haha! I’m very lucky. Canadians are lucky. I was able to afford treatment, even as a creative professional. Doing my best ten years later means doing the best that I can do at any given moment, while allowing for some balance and enjoyment in life. Thanks all who support my artist journey. If you’d like to learn more about my cancer journey, I invite you to read my article Five Lessons from Cancer on Life and Art.
