It's been really fun to experiment with these different forms of printmaking as I play with this unique diy press. If you're interested in learning about printmaking, sign up for my January or April 2026 exploration to Printmaking class at @pdacoquitlam. Link in my bio.

Well they can't all be winners can they? We learn in our failures and this is that.

If anyone has any tips for collagraph Intaglio printing, please share!

Another successful trial!

Using lego is a great budget friendly way to explore relief printing. You can often find mixed bags of it at thrift stores and the combination of designs are endless.

For this trial, I went with a city scape. I wanted to see if the height of the LEGO would fit through the press and it did.

I got my vaccines yesterday and have been having all the aches and pains- so have had to postpone testing the press for a couple of days.

A huge thank you to @langleyartscouncil and the jury for this award!

I am beyond excited to share this news with everyone who has been following along with my venture into metal sculpture. Winning this award is extremely encouraging to continue working in this challenging medium.

Wahooooo!!

Not much time for art these days but lots of visiting with @philprajoux family, a beautiful wedding, and clamming up speaking French.

I'm hoping to get some time in the next 9 days to try some plein air painting.

After hours of research, I found a spray paint that will adhere to galvanized steel and I am so delighted with the result. I went with @krylonbrand fusion all in one spray paint with a hammered black finish. The result is a slightly shimmery black with some texture. It suits the piece and I am so thrilled!

This is not a collaboration with Krylon, but if I keep using the product and gain enough followers, maybe it could be! If you're looking for a spray paint that will stick to difficult surfaces, give Fusion all in one a try!!

After 10 months, a huge learning curve, and a lesson in paint with galvanized steel, this piece is almost ready to go to @langleyartscouncil for an upcoming exhibit.

Being accepted the the ArtsPacific show has given me the push to get this piece finished and renewed my desire to pursue metal sculpting.

I ask myself why am I so stiff and sore all the time...this Molly, this is why.

I don't know how much this weighs, but I know that my very strong husband, @philprajoux who weight lifts 6x a week, also struggled to lift this off the table for me when I was finished adding that base piece.

Thankful to @twinrinksphysiotherapy for working on my shoulder tendons. I have definitely overdone it the last few days and appreciate the care and exercise routine to work on being pain free!

Thank you for the encouragement and the treatment, and the exercises! I can't believe how hard it is to spell out the alphabet with a ball on the wall!!

New skill unlocked - Heart butt.

This was done using embroidery thread and a weaving technique, and then finished with a basket stitch. I don't know if it will last, but I love the result! Kind of want to put one on the bottom of all my pants, even if they don't need it!

What do you think?

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

I haven't been posting much lately and here's why:

✅Progress can be slow and there's nothing new to share.
✅AI content has got me feeling all sorts of emotions towards sharing my work online and none of them are positive.
✅I've been prioritizing other aspects of my life.
✅Burnout.

I find creating content exhausting and found that it ruins my joy of making art. I end up with so much anxiety, worrying about what to say about my work that I become paralyzed. I am filled with fear of failure and rejection. After putting countless hours filming and editing videos to share on social media, to have little engagement and often unfollowed by people each post. That time could instead be used to create more work, unbound by anxiety of rejection, creating because I must. Because making is in my soul. It's what I'm meant to do. I am not meant to constantly be setting up camera angles and recording things, to sit on my phone editing videos, trying to be clever and witty. I am here to work with my hands. Create what I see. Live in the present and just be.

If you would like to stay connected with my artwork, please join my email newsletter by sending me a dm with your email and I will add you.

I had such a great time last night making art at @snaginthevalley last night and I am super excited to explore more reduction printing.

On another note, I've been struggling alot with overwhelm lately so I am going to try a social media detox and see if that helps me reset. I feel weird announcing it, but I've realized how much time I spend endlessly scrolling for no reason and how much it is affecting my well being. Hopefully a few days off will give me some clarity on how I can move forward using Instagram without having it suck up my time.

If anyone needs to get a hold of me in the next few days, please send an email or give me a call!

What a lovely evening with @snaginthevalley at @downtownopenspace!

Tonight I tackled a 3-colour reduction print(which I've never done before) in just 3.5hours!! I printed an edition of 8 on paper as well as 6 t-shirts. The first edition and 5 t-shirts were taken home by raffle winners, and I met some really nice people.

A couple of my original mini watercolours and ink found new homes too!! What a great night.

Thank you @embermuninnart for allowing me to participate!!

I'm excited to announce that starting starting mid-October I will be teaching a beginner printmaking course at @pdacoquitlam!

Over 8 weeks, participants will learn and explore different types of printmaking with a focus on materials that can be found at home. Types of printmaking will include: collography(pictured above), etching(tetrapack printing), lithography(kitchen), and relief printing(with styrofoam and rubber).

More details will be available closer to the date. For now, I am making up a bunch of print samples.

The update no one asked for but everyone needs: the kittens I raised from two weeks old are now 8month old cats! George is quite a big boy and Louise is a dainty lady. They are 100% my mom's cats, and could really care less about anyone else.

They got they first catnip toy from @waldoandtubbs.fortlangley yesterday. From the video, do you think they enjoyed it?

These will be used on Canada for a "stamp-your-own flag" activity in Abbotsford as part of the City's free festivies.

A new day, a new boiled down plant or two.

I used pink camellia petals and long wild grass today. I boiled them in water with alum as a mordant for about an hour and then strained into jar with another teaspoon of alum in each.

I'm guessing it will take a few weeks for the water to dissipate to leave me with the pigments but only time will tell.

Hey it's been a while since I've shared a reel. With everything that's been going on globally and close to home, I've not been feeling up to sharing much.

I noticed I have lost a fair number of followers recently, I'm guessing due to inactivity, or maybe what I have been sharing on my stories has been uninteresting. Who knows?

To be frank, I haven't been recording my process, or really completing anything art wise. I have been focusing on applying to opportunities and getting nothing but rejection. I have been working here and there on various things but overall felt like I have nothing of interest to share.

Do I give up? Leave my pursuit of art behind me and focus on something more tangible? Or do I persist and continue this seemingly never ending slog of rejection with occassional small victory?

As the last hour of 2024 ticks by, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the growth this year has brought, as well as the cherished memories with loved ones.

Highlights include:

- Having the courage to apply to more opportunities than I've ever done before.
This led to my first art residency with @thecityofabbotsford, two solo art exhibitions with @cityofpoco and @pdacoquitlam, participating in a group show with @langleyartscouncil and the Landscape competition, and winning a design contest for @fortlangleyjazzfest

- learning how to make sourdough bread thanks to @carmalarm giving me some of her starter

- now have 68 linocut birds for my Avifauna, to-scale bird print series

- having @philprajoux 's French cousins come stay with us for a visit. It was absolutely amazing to see them after 8 years, and getting to meet their kids

- passing my French B1 exam! This was the last thing I needed to start the application process to become a French citizen! I still have a bunch of paperwork to do but it's in the works!

- raising two kittens from the age of two weeks. The sleepless nights were well worth it seeing my Mom have nightly snuggles with the them. They are her cats now, but I will always be their surrogate meowther

- various linocut demonstrations

- paricipated in a live painting auction thanks to @embermuninnart

- starting @funnyfriendsart with my bff. This is an art project to create silly and fun artwork intended to make people smile and celebrate lasting friendship. We have an exhibit/art residency in March that I'll share more about soon.

- going to Revelstoke to celebrate our friends marriage! Congratulations again @gmackenzie11 and @aeheeps

- fabricated a gate with hinges on my own and welded a repair job on my Dad's excavator

- completing my first metal sculpture and starting my second. This has been a dream of mine for a while and I've finally made time to pursue it.

I have so much more to say but it's almost midnight so I'll leave it here.

Cheers to everyone who made 2024 a wonderful year and Happy New Year!!!

I feel like it's something I would have painted 15 years ago and that might be why I'm questioning it.

If I don't finish a painting when I start it, I often get distracted with another project and the painting gets forgotten about, sometimes forever.

That's what happened to this piece until tonight! I don't even remember when I started it. It might have been for a painting demo over a year, or possibly two years ago? Who knows, not me.

Crushed Clown Car. Acrylic on wood panel, 10x10. 2024.

I took the reference photo for this painting at the beginning of 2022 because it felt like the perfect representation for the exhaustion of the Covid pandemic, but I never got around to painting it. I see now it was waiting to be painted, when global unrest feels like it's an an all time high and many of us feel hopeless, confused, and scared.

While painting this piece I felt all of those emotions, like every brush stroke was wrong and leading no where. I pushed through that discomfort, and all of a sudden I took a step back and saw that, infact, my work made sense.

This too shall pass. We will get through.

This is the main reason I've been quiet on socials lately. It's been a challenging few weeks but it feels like I've gotten through the toughest part.

I might even get to making some new work soon!

Monoprinting with stencils was my last art engagement with the City of Abbotsford! It was an absolute joy to watch participants let go of their inner critic and enjoy creating for no reason other than to explore something new!

It's hard to believe that 5 months and 16 art engagements have gone by in what seems like the blink of an eye.

A huge thank you to @thecityofabbotsford @abbotsfordprc @abbyyouth for hosting these events, and all the lovely staff that helped me set up and run these art engagements.

I will be reflecting on what I've learned and how I've grown over the past five months and may be quiet on socials while I consider what my next steps are.

Thank you to everyone who has been following my work over the years. I appreciate every single one of you!! I especially appreciate those who take the time to write encouraging words in the comments, send DMs, and every single person who has ever bought my artwork.

Who would have guessed...more birds, different medium.

Finished framing these little original watercolour paintings to go to @pdacoquitlam at the end of the month for their "Positively Petite" annual miniature exhibition.

I've wanted to apply for this show for years and always seem to miss the deadline, but not this year! These works are 3x3" and 4x4" in size.

I'm looking forward to seeing all the different mediums of teeny tiny artwork.

A big thank you to @pdacoquitlam for having me at their Family Day on Oct.6th. It was lovely to share my art process from start to finish and answer questions about linocut printmaking with curious minds. A few people took prints home, and I now have two adorable new art prints that will be available soon!

And with that, I only have one more engagement left for my artist-in-residence at the City Of Abbotsford. Today's mono printing workshop gave participants the time to explore with a new art medium and found nature. Everyone went outside and found their own foliage and then had a good time exploring with acrylic paint, hello plates, brayers, and most importantly, an open mind. Thank you to all the participants, @abbotsfordprc, and @thecityofabbotsford for hosting this event.

What a beautiful way to spend an afternoon! Thank you @thecityofabbotsford and the Clearbrook Library for the opportunity to share art with Abbotsford residents. It was such a joy to watch people's eyes light up as they put paint to canvas.

A big thank you to @langleyartscouncil for including me in their second annual Landscape competition this year!

The 9 artists competing were all amazing and I am grateful for the experience.

My painting turned out nothing like I intended but I really enjoyed the process despite almost having a full meltdown.
