Welcome to the place I keep my weird art!

I am a Canadian, adult diagnosed ADHD/Autistic, with endometriosis, fibromyalgia, and chronic migraines. Making art keeps me sane, and gives me purpose. I am still figuring out my style, and love experimenting with different mediums, methods and techniques.

I love embroidery most of all, and the meditative process of stitching brings me a sense of calm and focus. Each piece I create is infused with my passion for storytelling through thread, whether it’s a delicate floral skull, a cozy cottage core scene, or a completely custom design made to bring someone’s vision to life.

My watercolour paintings are a celebration of florals and seascapes, capturing the beauty of nature in its most serene and vibrant forms. I love blending soft, muted tones with bold splashes of colour to bring flowers and ocean waves to life. From delicate petals to rolling tides, each piece is a reflection of my connection to the natural world and my fascination with its endless textures and hues. Every brushstroke tells a story of tranquility and wonder, making these paintings perfect for bringing a touch of nature’s charm into your space.

When I’m not stitching or painting, you’ll find me exploring other creative outlets, like painting rocks, designing birdhouses, or diving into spontaneous arts and crafts projects. I thrive on the joy of creating, always seeking new ways to bring beauty and whimsy into everyday life. Whether it’s a colorful rock for the garden or a one-of-a-kind birdhouse, these playful creations are a reflection of my endless curiosity and love for handmade art. For me, the act of making is as fulfilling as the finished piece—it’s my way of staying inspired and sharing a bit of happiness with the world.

Join me on this journey of making the world a little bit more beautiful every day.

If you are interested in purchasing my art, you can do so at my Etsy shop here, and you will soon find my art at One Sixty One (27 William St, Paris, Ontario) and Mooncraft Market (142 James St N, Hamilton Ontario), or you can Contact Me if you have ideas for a custom order you would like to discuss.

Thinking about all the things I can/have/want to e Thinking about all the things I can/have/want to embroider on, and remembered these towels I made for my bestie @devilsinthedesign 
Seeing these “thin flimsy towels, that don’t cover you in fluff” we both prefer at @gianttigerstore, it was hard to choose between mustard yellow, dusty rose, and this stunning sage green. The green paired so well with the florals I had in mind, and now she has to think of me when she dries 🤣😏🫣🤷🏼‍♀️

Bring hugs, tea, and cute dogs for me to pet. ❤️

Just a selection of the hand embroidered necklace Just a selection of the hand embroidered necklace pendants I have stocked at @phoenixemporium.ca (which will only be there until the end of April when I switch out stock!) 

Each of these beauties is completely unique and different because they are sewed completely by hand with @dmc_embroidery floss on different types of fabric, and then carefully mounted. 

Whether you are into classic florals, cottage core mushrooms, spooky spider webs, or foliage, you are bound to fall in love with one of these! (Also make a great Mother’s Day gift, hint hint)

I don’t know what is going on with this Ontario I don’t know what is going on with this Ontario weather, but, it looks like you might still need your touque, bud. 

Grab a pre-made one at @mooncraftmarket (until the end of the month when I do a stock swap!) or create your own sassy winter (and early spring, and late fall) hat by DMing me, or going to my Etsy shop. 

With such classics as “Nope.”, “stay salty”, “Y tho?” And more, how can you resist? Each hat is hand embroidered with high quality DMC thread, in fun fonts and florals.
