People, probably: You can't possibly fit everything you need to sell your work at a 3-day art festival into your little hybrid

Me: Hold my wine

Spacious hatchback trunk of a Hyundai Ioniq loaded with bags and boxes of display equipment, transaction essentials, and the art of course (with room to spare!), in preparation to sell at Edmonton's Whyte Avenue Art Walk.

There is just one month until the Whyte Avenue Art Walk! It may be in its 30th year, but this will be my first time there as an artist! If you are in or passing through #Edmonton between July 11-13, it’s a must-see event!

Photo of myself in early winter with hand slightly outstretched with some wild birdseed in my palm. Two chickadees are perched on my finger tips, and I am smiling in delight. A mix of birch and aspen with brown leaves are in soft focus in the background.

Sketching ideas for future #OwlAdventuresArt 🌸🦉

(the warmer weather here in #yeg is making me think about new spring & summer themed things!)

"The Land We Share," a solar panel mural, is being installed on the north side of the SunRise Building at 10609 101 Street (formerly Capital Tower). Designed by Edmonton Indigenous artist Lance Cardinal, the mural celebrates First Nations and Chinese communities. It features animals representing the Seven Sacred Grandfather Teachings in Indigenous culture on the left and the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac on the right.

Hello! I'm a wildlife photographer in Alberta, Canada. With easy access to Rockies, badlands, rolling foothills, and open skies, nature is my playground. I also travel to other parts of the globe when I can, to capture the beauty of the wider world as well.

DM me about custom prints of any of my images.

Macro photo of a yellow and burgundy orchid with ripply side-petals and a smattering of "freckles." A second, softly blurred orchid of the same kind is in the background.

A chipmunk sits on a large rock and munches on a dandelion bud.

Crescent Falls in Alberta, Canada. Photographer POV: standing on the rocks at the edge of the pool, at the base of one waterfall, which serves as the top of the next cascading fall, which cascades out the bottom left side of the image.

Northern lights glow green with a hint of purple, rippling in the sky above Astotin Lake, at Elk Island National Park in Alberta, Canada. The iconic tree-covered island in the middle of the lake is silhouetted in the background on the left, with the aurora on the right.

I'm a decent green thumb, but #orchids are one of those flowers I'm much better at photographing than growing. Super excited for the Orchid Fair at the #EnjoyCentre in #StAlbert this wknd. This means new work coming soon! For now, here are some shots from previous yrs, two of which were awarded as part of the Orchid Society of Alberta's juried art show in 2023.

Award-winning close-up of a red lady-slipper-like orchid against a black backdrop.

Macro shot of a yellow orchid with deep purple stripes and accents. Photo is taken facing the flower, creating left and right symmetry. The two side petals appear to have short 'hairs' that make the flower stand out from others.

Macro shot of a yellow orchid on a branch, with red/burgundy speckles--the petals are fairly small, and the five petals altogether make this orchid remind me of a starfish.

Award-winning macro shot of a striped magenta/purple orchid. Image captures the front of the orchid, creating left and right symmetry.

Check it out! I officially have an online shop! 😃

Sometimes I play with #watercolour instead pixels. Not sure it's a traditional #IrishBlessing, but it's the blessing we need in 2025.

May my heart be kind,
My mind fierce,
and my spirit brave.

Addendum: I just remembered that my brief letter to the editor complaining about the sculpture made it into the local papers.

It included the query "Is that a baseball bat in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

😛

(FTR it is also the sole piece of public art I've ever complained about. And in this instance I was FAR from alone!)

Chinatown's newest mural, "Azure Dragon of the East" by Branden Cha - I missed the unveiling last night but went to have a look this afternoon and it is breathtaking.

Yesterday I finally had the chance to check out the redeveloped Centennial Plaza behind the Milner EPL, featuring new public art: the mosaic sculpture "Ugo" by Erin Pankratz & Christian Pérès Gibaut, and light displays in the shape of flowers.

A mural created to commemorate the journalists killed while covering Gaza since October 7. The art was led by AJA Louden, Tzadeka, and Ahmad. Community members wrote the names of journalists. There were 97 journalists killed as of the time of the mural's creation.
