I painted this cat commission while at the SAMU Spring Market at MacEwan yesterday! I'm really loving doing these commissions and hope to do more!

Wow this has to be one of my greatest accomplishments ever. What an honour to be featured in the nâpêhkâsowinowâk ᓇᐯᐦᑲᓱᐃᐧᓄᐊᐧᐠ exhibition at the Art Gallery of Alberta alongside other brilliant, talented, hardworking, amazing Indigenous artists.

From October 25th, 2025 - January 25th, 2026, "*nâpêhkâsowinowâk* invites visitors to reflect on what courage, resilience, and warriorhood look like in a contemporary context, challenging preconceptions while honouring the unique perspectives of a new generation." - from the website.

My portrait paintings come from recognizing emotions in the faces of talented musicians I enjoy listening to and feeling so connected with them that I must honour this emotional expression by painting portraits of them. This experience makes me feel so proud, valued, and optimistic about pursuing what I love and enjoy which is painting and drawing portraits that capture and express powerful emotions in visual form.

Thank you everyone for your support in any way, shape, or form. It is wholeheartedly appreciated.
