Time Away

If my social media accounts have been quiet of late, and I have been slow to respond to e-mails, it is because I unplugged at a retreat centre for a while. I spent almost two weeks at wonderful Dorje Denma…
First Summer Show this Saturday June 18th!

I can’t believe summer show season is already upon us! The first one for me will be in Avondale in rural Nova Scotia, this coming Saturday, June 18th. I always enjoy the Avondale Arts Fairs (this summer one, and their Garlic…
‘My’ Galleries

As I sit in my studio this morning, getting ready to finish some pieces to send out to galleries next week, I am contemplating where their journey will take them before they find a home on a body. The galleries…
This Egg is My Teacher

Perhaps, when it comes to lifestyle, eggs may be my best teacher. Strange statement? Certainly. But it occurred to me this morning, and I will tell you why: I am an entrepreneur, and I am a woman. These two things alone…
Thanks, CircleCraft Market Vancouver!

I have just returned from the CircleCraft Market in Vancouver. I very much enjoy coming to Vancouver twice a year to show my work, and look forward to returning again in the summer, for CircleCraft Summer and the Harmony Arts…
With Rings on My Fingers and Bells on my Toes …. Returning to CircleCraft in Vancouver

I am very excited to return to Vancouver next week for the annual Circle Craft Market. This year it feels like I am coming into that fair city on the other end of our changing country with ‘rings on my fingers…
Avondale Garlic Festival

I have been a supporter of Farmers’ Markets all my life. For several years, I produced a ‘contemplative photography’ calendar about Halifax’s historic Brewery Market together with photographer Damian Lidgard. Unfortunately, we both ran out of time to continue that fun…
A Fresh (foodie) View of NYC

Woah, what a busy little time I have had! But I am finally back in my studio, phew. My last trip was to NYC for a trade-only show. I won’t bore you with the schlepp. Suffice it to say that…
In the National Press

Ah! Some exciting news: I am proud to be featured in an editorial on Canadian Jewelry Designers influenced by nature, in nationally published Mercedes-Benz Magazine! In a wonderful tribute, writer Isa Tousignat, supported by photographer Michael Crichton and stylist Serge Kerbel, pay…
Love from Coast to Coast, and over the pond!

I just finished two outdoor summer art markets: first in Halifax, then in Vancouver, British Columbia, returning today from the West Coast. As much as I enjoy making things in my studio, it is always such a delight to bring…
It has been a pleasure

I just finished a run of Holiday art fairs, and as always, it was wonderful to meet old friends and meet new ones. While I love being in my studio and making jewellery every day, I also enjoy these opportunities…
Meet Your Maker

I have just returned from Vancouver’s CircleCraft Christmas Market. You may recall that I was on this Coast just a few months ago, for the Harmony Arts Festival in August. What can I say? I love the West Coast’s enthusiasm…
Taking Stock and Preparing for Winter

I know my last blog post was somewhat morbid. But perhaps a discussion of death around Halloween time is actually appropriate, seeing that the holiday celebrates a weakened barrier between the world of the living and that of the dead. “A time to…
