I dropped my laptop today and part of me was like….ooooooo maybe it’s broken and I’ll have to quit work and build planters for a living! 🌱🥕 So just in case I bought some wood…#ClimateCrisis #closetprepper #theworldisonfire

This kid’s hysterical. 😭 🍌 #toddler #baby #mother #Lifewithkids #love #motherhood

I started a Drawing Club in my house. Might be the smartest thing I’ve ever done. #community #art #kingston #love #create #makeartnotwar

For months I’ve been in a state of kundalini awakening, unable to ignore a need to investigate spirituality. I’m ready to share a bit…here’s something that’s helped me today. We cannot process our emotions unless we love ALL our choices. Even “laziness.” Even low productivity.❤️

Someone once described Kingston Ontario weather like this: Sun, sun, sun, HERE'S A LAKE WE'D LIKE TO DUMP ON YOUR HEAD, sun, sun, sun...Seems true today. Rest In Peace, tiny transplanted tomato babies. #may #Ontario

Throwback to childhood, visiting Zal & Rose and the pool, peacocks, horses, excellent food & exceptional Canadian Art that made those visits magic. We miss you two, thank you for all that you were. Here I am at age 9 being, well, exactly who I am now. #childhood #tbt @chezpiggy

Luther’s soft, kissable feet. Even in the middle of the night, when his cries drag me out of bed and down the hall, I take a minute to rub his soles against my cheek. He splays his toes and giggles. Those feet he can’t yet walk on, for now, belong almost entirely to Mama. #baby

When you draw from life, you capture life. Put away your digital references. Just see what happens. It won’t be perfect. You’ll make mistakes. But it will be authentic, so it will be alive. #draw #drawing #charcoal

I love working on authors’ websites, because they get excited thinking about their digital space as if it were their own personal magazine. We talk, laugh, dream, discuss…then I go away and build something entirely unique to the artist. Recent project: carolynsmartediting.ca
