The Lone Wolf Art Show!

This weekend, I had my second solo art show! I’m never sure how they are going to go and I’m always fearful that no one will show up, but that’s the internal critic speaking.

I always have a charity in mind for each of my shows and this year, I chose the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. They were a bit help to me when I ended up on the streets when I was younger. They were such a help to me, and I will forever be thankful for the help they gave me when I was a kid. It only felt right to have part of my proceeds from the show go to the YSB.

It was an absolute joy to talk to the people that came to the show about art, my process, where I got my ideas and the creative drive that I hold within. Better yet, I was seen as artist and there was no question that I am one, so I can tell the internal critic to take a hike (at least temporarily).

By the end of the day, I sold fifteen pieces and raised $250 for the Youth Services Bureau! That’s a win on both counts. I’m just so happy that I was able to raise money for a charity that is close to my heart and spread love and joy through my art.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the amount of help I got with this show. My husband and my parents helped me so much and the show would not have been the success that it was without their help.

Take a look below and some pictures! I can’t wait for the next show.
