The ACC invited me to participate in their Spotlight Exhibition during the month of October 2018. 
The Alberta Spotlight Exhibition presents new and exciting work of Alberta Craft Council members who may be launching new designs or exploring new themes. 
Sending out a huge thank you to the Craft Gallery team in Calgary -Jill Nuckles and Corinne Cowell - for helping organize this exhibition and making my wares look lovely in the space. 
Also a big thank you to Jeff Yee for the photos.

Calgary craft friends - I highly recommend looking into becoming one of the next Spotlight artists. ✨✨✂️✂️ I will be launching a online store this month, so you don’t have to wait to purchase my work at craft shows and gallery events... stay tuned.

Alberta Craft Awards 2018

October 22, 2018

I am so excited and honored to share that I have been nominated for a Alberta Craft award!

When moving to Calgary from Hamilton I was pretty nervous but excited for new beginnings. I had no clue what the craft community was going to be like in the west, but I had some positive input about Calgary from my mentor in Toronto. She had visited the Alberta College of Art + Design and claimed the school was absolutely fantastic.

Finishing my BFA at ACAD was a challenging and rewarding experience, I immersed myself into the fibre department and craft community easily. The energy and enthusiasm for fresh concepts, research and creating fine craft was inspiring.

After graduating I didn’t find myself lost, I felt motivated and confident to continue my next chapter as a professional artist and crafts person. And now, I still reside in Calgary where I’ve found a new studio space and work in a field that values my education as a textile designer and dyer.

Thanks for being awesome Calgary! And thank you to my mentors, fellow colleagues and friends who support my work and future as a Canadian crafts person.
