i feel it necessary to update everyone in stating that, firstly, i will be leaving in a short while to go travelling. as such, you will note that my online store will become unaccessable due to me being unable to keep up with demands while seeing the world. i will keep my online store open until the end of june - at which point if any of you are interested in my art pieces for purchase, please contact me via email and i will see if there is anyway to fulfill your wishes while i am out of town. that being said, once i am back, i will re-open my online store for access to my art. i do apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause anyone.

as well - in preparation of my leave - i have scheduled a sale for my art for may 30 and 31. it will be combined with a garage sale as i cannot afford to store all my possessions while i am away. as such, my art will be for sale should anyone be interested in purchasing it in person (skips the shipping costs that you would find online). this sale will be in calgary, AB. if you think this might be something you are wanting to come to, please email me for the specific address and/or directions.

outside of all of this, i have created some new jewellery pieces that you will be able to view in their portfolios. they will also be pieces available for purchase on my online store (while it is still open). that being said, please be patient with my uploading of items on my online store as it is time-consuming and time is something that i fear i do not have much of as i am preparing to leave. if there is a piece of art you are interested in but can not find it in my online store - please contact me via email to inquire about it.

finally, please feel free to sign my guestbook - id love to hear what you think of my site, store, art, and anything else. if you are interested in subscribing to my site, simply enter your email address to the right of this entry and all my updates will be sent directly to your email.

thanks again for all your support!
