This is worth paying attention to.

I will be part of this wonderful event again this year. It is happening THIS weekend!

Local governments have many opportunities to support artists, like:

- Converting public buildings and underutilised spaces for artists’ exhibition or studio space, and creating opportunities for artist residencies

Find more in our Toolkit for Local Governments: carfacbc.ca/wp-content/u...

You're welcome! I hope the exhibition is going well.

My Confessions of a Chromaphobe series gives each ASL letter its own bold color personality.

Each painting features my audiogram as the backdrop. Hearing loss has its own visual language too.

I made this drawing series during my first year in Vancouver, while trying to make sense of a new place. It started quietly, with soft tones, and slowly built into something more bold and colorful. I used dry pastel and pencil crayon, slow materials for a slow transformation.

Thank you kindly, Bettina! 💙💙
