First ! Not perfect by any means but so much fun to use this format to share method I use as a daily practice to capture my thoughts in a soothing and colourful way. Thanks to ÉLISE CANDAS for gifting me the name Zenafire which she coined over 10 years ago. And to artist Emily Allan, who made me realize Zines were a thing, opening my eyes to a new-for-me way of anchoring a fleeting moment or sharing a perspective.

If anyone’s interested in trying out Zenafire drawing, reach out and I’m happy to share more on the process. 🌞

As for Zines, I’m smitten. ❤️

Just discovered a secret terrace at CityPlace downtown off the food court. It’s a bit of an escape, smells gorgeous thanks to the flower beds. The view of the sky and steeple and skyscrapers has me feeling I’m somewhere else.

Je t‘aime ma chouette.

I'm ssssoooo giddy. As a part of CBC Top 20, the song will be played multiple times a week across Canada. The show is a combination of artists like myself alongside mega stars like Billie Eilish, Maggie Rogers, and Hozier. It's a real chance for my music to get in the ears of lots of people who ...

I've been wanting to go to Hillside Festival for ages. I just never thought my first time would be as part of the music line-up!

I'll be singing the song I wrote as part of the Girls and Guitars songwriting group, at our workshop on Sunday. I'm so grateful to the gals and workshop leaders, so happy to be meeting them in person. ❤️

I've only really sung for cats and kids and so this is brand new for me. So, musician friends - please share your best advice for playing in a festival! ☀️

And friends in Guelph area, hope to see you there!

This year’s lineup boasts 50 artists, with artists like Patrick Watson, Kim Churchill, Aysanabee, Bab L'Bluz, and more! July 19-21, 2024.
