For the love of polar bears...

I lucked into an opportunity at the Assiniboine Park Zoo last month. They wanted silhouettes of each of their bears at their factual heights so folks could see how they measure up to a real bear. Hey. I'm not fussy... Continue reading

If the only prayer you ever say...

I've been waiting for the right set of words to push my into painting a new oversize piece for our living room. These words - by Meister Eckhart - touched my heart for many reasons. So I painted them. If... Continue reading

I was SURPRISED how warm they were! I sure didn't expect it and I wanted to share. (Hope you're well! xo)

I find that my feet sweat in Sorels and then get really cold. I do not find that in the Valenkis. I’m not sure about the washability. I’ll let you know after spring comes and the roads are mucky. So far - I’m really impressed.

Valenki boot review.

I love winter. I love snow. I love ice. I love polar bears. I love Canada. I also understand, quite intimately, that in order to enjoy those three things YOU NEED TO BE WARM. Also important to note: I live... Continue reading

If there is no darkness...

This print is now in my Crated shop. It's meaningful to me. Fall was stormy here. We struggled. We lost one of our littlest family members and life slowed as we said goodbye to summer. This script print of my... Continue reading

I can tell you that the #kbWILDER prints will be around for a long, long while (and printable in sizes up to 35x48!). I understand the annoyance of high shipping costs, too so thanks for understanding.

I'm sorry about shipping. I have struggled for years shipping things from Canada. Things are slow, they never arrive, etc, etc, etc. The shipping rates are determined by Crated for the prints and there's nothing I can do. I'm sorry about shipping.

Hayley! The bears are my favourite and will definitely be getting their own print or two.

EVERYONE matters.

Last weekend, I spent some time hanging out in a downtown back alley painting (I might have indulged my inner Banksy as well). I painted 3 huge panels. The canvasses (3/4 inch MDF board unprimed) were ridiculously fun. Probably because... Continue reading
