Patio Collection for Canvas at Canadian Tire

Patio Collection for Canvas at Canadian Tire

On of my goals for my business is to make and share art that can be enjoyed and used every day. It's with such joy that I get to share with you my new patio collection for Canvas at Canadian Tire! 

Inspired by retro mod pop culture of the 60s, I wanted to capture that retro youthful energy in a fun fresh way for this summer's patio season. I was inspired by everything from 60s movies, to fashion, to what was hot on the dance floor.

Outdoor cushions, patio dinnerware, and big and beautiful umbrella all now available at Canadian Tire stores across the country!

A Day at The Beach!

The sun is high in the sky and my sights are set on a fun-filled beach day!  I can't wait to get my hands on the new Judy Blume and relax under that fancy beach umbrella.  With my portable radio and sleek bathing suit, I'm ready for a lazy day in the sun.  Maybe I'll see you there!
