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?

Recently my sister took up paint-by-numbers as a hobby (for the tiny bit of free time she has) and I had an idea to make her a giant paint-by-number for her birthday that features her pony, Levi. She was very

This got me thinking, maybe this is something people would be interested in?

If you're interested, send me a DM with "paint" and I'll send you a brief questionnaire to help me figure out an offering.

A batch of Canadiana stamps based off the suggestions from my last stamp post.

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!!!

Township Road Sunset.

I don't know if this is done, if I like it or I hate it.

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

Let me know what you think I should do in the poll below.

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.

Framing the biggest bird I've carved and printed to date - bald eagle in flight!

This piece measures 82" inches wide x 36" high and I would not have been able to print or frame it without the support of @philprajoux!

It's been a few months and I have to say, printing in the summer is challenging!

Ink dries quicker and it's hot and sweaty. That being said, it felt great to get back to printing after a few months of working on other projects.

I am excited to share that I'll be exhibiting Avifauna again in Sept.- Nov. with @pdacoquitlam with over 60 birds!!

I'll also be at the @chilliwackfair this Saturday and Sunday doing art demos and selling my artwork.

Hope to see you there!

Words cannot express the joy I felt today installing my first fabrication project with my Dad this morning!

I am so grateful for my education at @ufvwelding @ufvtrades last year thanks to @bccwitt and @skilledtradesbc!!

I may not be taking the traditional route of apprenticeship to becoming a red sealed welder, but I am still a welder!!

This "man" gate was designed and built for my parents to match the large gate they had installed earlier this year. Seeing this project finished is a huge milestone and I just wish I had more time in the day to work on more projects!!

I also hope it helps keep the coyotes out of the yard but I think they'll find a way.

A BIG thank you to @embermuninnart for organizing artists and hosting this event!

Second time, success!

Boy oh boy...I had this idea for a reel to share what I'll be working on during the "pop-up studio" times of my art residency but it did not end up nearly as smooth as I imagined...hahaha oh well. I tried.

I'll be painting three Abbotsford Heritage buildings over the next couple months. You can drop by and say hi, watch me paint, and if you feel like it, try putting some paint on the canvas yourself!

This Thursday, June 20th, 12-2pm, I'll be at Matsqui Recreation Centre
3106 Clearbrook Rd in the lobby.

Do you have tips and tricks for making this kind of video? Drop them in the comment section please and thank you!!

Boy oh boy...I had this idea for a reel to share what I'll be working on during the "pop-up studio" times of my art residency but it did not end up nearly as smooth as I imagined...hahaha oh well. I tried.

I'll be painting three Abbotsford Heritage buildings over the next couple months. You can drop by and say hi, watch me paint, and if you feel like it, try putting some paint on the canvas yourself!

This art activity will be open to all ages and abilities. Participants will get to stamp, design, colour, and learn how to make their own unique stickers at home using things they may already have in the house. Mark your calendars for July 10th at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre (the ARC). Details can be found in my bio.

First Abbotsford A-I-R art engagement in the books! This stamp-a-card activity was held at the ARC(Abbotsford recreation centre) during Senior's Day Luncheon.

It was a wonderful way for people to create a personalized art card to reconnect with a friend or loved one and the feedback was all positive! So much so, I'll be hosting this activity again and it will be open to all ages and abilities. Participants will be able to choose from 4 hand- carved and stamped Abbotsford inspired landscapes, and get to choose from a number of hand carved stamps to add their own personal touch. They can then colour their cards, and write a letter.

Check out the link in my bio that says Abbotsford A-I-R for event details.

Sadly I didn't get any footage of people stamping their cards because I was too focused on engaging with participants! I would say that's a good problem to have though.

Prepping for my first @thecityofabbotsford engagement this Thursday.

Participants are invited to create an “Abbotsford” inspired card, with hand-stamped artwork from Abbotsford Artist in Residence, Molly Gray. Take a moment to reminisce, and share a written memory to send to a friend or loved one.

Overdue update on the mini art gallery in the works. This project has challenged me all the way through and I'm so excited about it!! I have made this 100% myself and although it may be a little wonky, it will work as I need it to!

This may seem like a small victory but getting this crisscrossing wire welded together was a real challenge! If all goes according to plan, it will become the decorative top of a fire pit.

Even though the colour will not look good with my skin tone, I can't wait for the ink to dry so I can wear this donkey dress!

Colour matching this tasty purple for a dress I bought for $5. Sure it's a colour that makes me look sickly but I thought to myself, self, it's 100% cotton and a bargain you can't refuse...take it home and print on it!

Once these colours dry in a few days I'm adding one of my favourite linocuts to it...any guesses as to what it will be? Hint: it will not be a bird, and no, that is not sarcasm🤔

A pair of purple finches look longingly towards each other, appreciating the hard work they both do day-to-day.

No wait, she's looking off in the distance, dreaming of what could have been and he's looking just beyond her, idolizing the bird next door.

No, they're the perfect couple, synchronized in their wants and desires, working simultaneously together towards a common goal.

No, she can't even look at him, he was out all night dancing with other birds, didn't even chirp to let her know he was going to be late.

Who knows what these birds are thinking, Im guessing it's none of the human thoughts above.

Let me know what your imagination hears these birds thinking in the comments below.
