Spring Prints, Rare Transformer & New VonRaven!

Gearing up for Spring at chateau VonRaven…I’m always SO excited!

We welcomed a new addition to our family last week and he has been an absolute delight!

Meet Magnus!

He’s been helping out around the studio and very happy to hang out with me while I paint. (I make up for it with lots of long walks and trips to the dog park!)

Special thanks to the Calgary Humane Society

I do appreciate the tried and true but there’s always room for something exciting & new!

(I wonder if I could write an entire blog in poetry form?) hmm…

I’ve been tinkering with this idea for quite some time and it finally all came together. Each one is a digital edit of my original acrylic painting(s) mounted with magic in a glassed frame! The shimmers & colors move with you bringing the image to life.

The first of these will make their debut at the Okotoks Walk-In clinic where 20% of all sales are donated to local heath & wellness equipment/programs in the foothills.

*UPCOMING EVENTS*

It’s almost time for my February Library exhibit!

I’m stocking up and creating a GIANT inventory list…84 prints will be on display!

Bandits (Trashy & Smelly) & Library Exhibit!

I love the holidays and I also love getting back to business…refreshed!

New year and new beginnings!

It’s purdy cold where I am and January is essentially one never-ending Monday so, I was happy to get creative! I had a few ideas started at the end of 2024 which I made it really easy to dive back in.

After all the Christmas show bustle I’ll be busy this month re-stocking inventory and getting ready for a February exhibition at my local library.

NEW PAINTINGS

In search of wonder, adventure and most of all... SCRAPS!

Deadpool, Skellington, Zero & Yule Shows!

It’s cold, it’s snowy (18+ inches but who’s counting) and the holiday bustle has begun! I’ve done 2 Christmas markets and there are 2 more to go! Shipping has been compromised with the postal strike but all you locals can always rely on free pick up/delivery!

All of my images are available as prints (8x10 or 5x7) and greeting cards.

So, this movie…

I REALLY wanted to call this one “F%*$!%$ C#@* &$%^*” (because, obviously) but for silly “responsible” grown up inventory reasons I went with…
