Had a great afternoon sketching live at MacLaren on my iPad. Lots of art in the making and wonderful energy. Tomorrow, I draw at Parkview Centre. They'll be meditating, line dancing and so much more!

Coldwater Steampunk & Oddity Show was a ton of fun! I honoured my weirdest request so far - drawing a plushie & home-made robot. They behaved very well. ;) Contact me for your next big event!

Fantastic turn out at Barrie's Superwalk for Parkinson's on Saturday. Thank you to everyone who supported me. It's the biggest way I celebrate my family. Seeing this crowd would make my Dad, Len Laforge proud.

I had a full day drawing caricatures to help The Belmont in Stayner celebrate their 1st anniversary! It's a beautiful building, the Staff is top notch and the residents are a real hoot. Elvis even entered the building!

As a kid, I loved playing in the woods. Turns out, there's always been an enchanting world under the forest floor. The mycelial network communicates & heals. It's my inspiration.
IM me if you need this on your wall

Who goes on a Road Trip Alone? A woman on a mission. Visited galleries like @ECCOartGallery, listened to my fave podcasts – CBC ideas, @ologies.bsky.social & @pseudopod.org  Caught up with important friends & saw the beauty of Ontario.
