Alexa's "Painterly" 10th birthday party

July 10, 2015

We just celebrated our daughter, Alexa's 10th birthday with an art party - check out the gallery below for lots of bright colours, creativity in action and even a "painted" cake.

Such a wonderful visit with some amazing women last night ... thanks ladies! @whitespacedesign @oliveandbirchdesigns ✨

In love with this bedroom by the amazing @zdesignathome (her feed is one of my faves ever); and also honored to have my @minted artwork (left) next to a piece by the ultra-talented @martaspendowska (this same print of hers graces the walls of our daughter's bedroom - love it!). Repost @zdesignathome ・・・ Still walk into this room we did for the #oneroomchallenge and fall in love over and over again!! Also really love the bold choice to put these two oversized prints from @minted above the bed that add just a touch of drama to the space😍. You can shop these prints in my #ORC post (swipe up in stories on this photo) or link in profile ➡️ Shop My Instagram ➡️ Shop The Feed!! Left print by @melanieseverin, right print by @martaspendowska ... LOVE them both💗.

Feeling so rejuvenated after a wonderful weekend with family, including a river trip last night to one of our favourite places ... a remote little beach accessible only by boat (more in my stories) #canadianartist #details #studioscenes #closeup

Can we talk about this drawing by my 12 year-old (almost 13) daughter for a moment? Florals like this are HARD to do.... at least to some of us (🙋🏻). She drew this so easily and effortlessly- capturing that coveted contradiction between a casual, sketchy style and delicate intricacy. I think they're so beautiful and marvel at how natural it was for her to do this. Also - I think I need to hire her for surface design work!!!

So long #nss #nyc... I never take enough photos on these visits... always having too much fun enjoying the amazing company, great food and sights, and just being in the moment. Thankful to some great friends for taking/sharing a few of these. Until next year... 💛

These talented ladies... #nss2018

What a wonderful day yesterday painting with the talented @christydawnmills - great company, food (her mango salsa is amazing!) and laughs... swipe to see her gorgeous blue acrylic pours and check out her stories for more pics 🎨💛 #studioscenes #papermarbling #acrylicpour

So much incredible #minted art in the gorgeous new office at @cosmopolitan hq, including my piece seen here. Check out the entire space here: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/career/a19734832/cosmopolitan-com-office-photos/

Tragic news so very close to home recently has led to many tears and sadness ... all around our country, communities, and in our homes, people are holding their loved ones closer than ever. Life is both precious and fragile, and we are all connected, ebbing and flowing through this journey together, feeling each other's joys and sorrows more deeply than ever. 💔

I know it's not the most "spring like" combination but I can't stop obsessing over this colour scheme lately.... plus there's still snow on the ground here so there's that.
