Let's meet and share a story.
When I started selling my work, I decided on the brand name Vibrant Afternoon because it symbolizes a few ideas:
Vibrant: colourful, diverse, ever-changing
Afternoon: there is still time left in the day, which you are free to spend as you like
You can find my art three ways:
1. Online, on this website's shop
2. in locally-owned shops around Greater Vancouver - see Retailers for locations
3. I most love sharing my art in person, at craft fairs. I love meeting people and sharing stories, especially when they resonate with the food or destinations I've illustrated. Please see below for my future events – hope to see you there!
