Musical Creation

A special commission for a client, taking a beloved acoustic guitar and giving it some love with Intuitive Painting.
Witness the transformation…

Trent University Commission

In May, I was approached by Trent University  to create a large scale piece for their recently renovated student health centre. This mixed media piece was inspired by the serene landscape of the campus and its known association with nature, which has been a great influence in my work.
The Trent University campus has always been an inspiring environment to me. The way the unique architecture harmonizes with nature and to have a river flowing directly through the campus, its surreal. Its beautiful to see how we can embrace nature for all its beauty.

Artsweek SHIFT Grant

In the Spring of 2021, I applied for an artist grant through EC3’s event Artsweek Shift 2 and was successful in my endeavours!
I am so extremely happy and proud to receive this grant, it means the world to me. It also means I will be able to take my printmaking even further.

Part of my grant application consisted on being able to further develop my skills, work with some not for profits to help raise funds through art projects, working with local businesses to create promotional materials and creating more greeting card designs.

Any guess as to what food ingredient I am holding? Any guess as to what food ingredient I am holding?
Truth be told, I never really knew about it until this Summer when I needed it for a recipe.
Thankfully @themainingredientptbo has such a wonderful selection and variety of items, I was able to find it there.

Curious to see if everyone knows automatically and if I’ve just been very sheltered from pantry ingredients all my life 🤣
Tag someone and see if they may know too 😉

Absolutely beautiful day to explore @sirsamsskirid Absolutely beautiful day to explore @sirsamsskiride trails and take in the views!
We didn’t plan ahead when it came to packing food and after seeing the great picnic table spots they had, we knew what to do! We went down the road to @abbey_gardens and @eaglelakecountrymarketon and grabbed some of our favourite items. Brought everything back up to the picnic tables and had a lovely meal!

We explored the trails, took in the sights and spotted some beautiful creatures, two deer, a garter snake and a little frog. Oh and dozens upon dozens of dragonflies. Now that was a magical moment!

✨Want to know what a tart bourdaloue is?✨
Tarte Bourdaloue is a classic French tart, also known as a pear and almond tart, featuring poached pears on a sweet pastry base filled with frangipane (almond cream). The tart is named after Rue Bourdaloue in Paris, where it was reportedly created

First time trying these beauties and are now devoted fans! The crust is exceptional and full of flavour, with a nice chewy texture. The sauce has just the right zing to it and you can truly taste the fresh tomatoes.
Basil pesto and cheese are beautifully done too!
Honestly cannot say enough about how well done this pizza is and how kind and sincere the service is.

Thanks @piesbyzach for such a lovely experience, we will def be back!
Love seeing passion like this🙌🏻

Acrylics have always been my first love with mediums. Their endless possibilities and ability to continue exploring new techniques makes my heart full. Especially when I see my fingers and toes at the end of the day, covered in various colours. 
Yes, you read that correctly. 🤣 I did say toes! I’m a bit of a messy painter 😄 

Starting to explore underpainting techniques and play more with colour theory. Really enjoying such too! 
This specific painting is the first in my underpainting series and was such a delight to create again and actually feel all the art emotions. 
I’ve missed my creative world and so thankful to be in it again!

If you would like to give this piece a home, please comment below, send me a message on here, or even an email to briannagosselin@hotmail.com
For ptbo locals, porch pickup is an option. And for those a bit further away, I am happy to mail this painting, which will come with shipping costs.

Thank you for reading and allowing me to share my creative world with you ❤️

@maisiemay_cocker is always looking to cuddle up. Her favourite spot is sitting on the back of the couch and nuzzling into your neck. She used to curl up like such when she was a young pup and I hope she never stops ❤️

I started this business a few years back and used to sell my products at Cheek and plant goals, then moved into @milkandteashop and @lavendermoonptbo in downtown Ptbo.
Where both locations have a carefully curated selection of products, both different from each shop.

Make sure you visit these fantastic businesses and support local when you’re in downtown, Peterborough.

To use flowers to hammer designs onto fabric (a technique also known as flower pounding or Tataki-zomé), you’ll need flowers, fabric, a flat surface like a cutting board, parchment paper, and a hammer or mallet. 
Arrange your flowers face down on the fabric, cover them with parchment paper, and gently hammer them, working from the edges inward. The flower’s natural dyes will transfer to the fabric. 

After hammering, carefully peel away the flowers and set the design by ironing it with a paper towel

If you are looking for a detailed step to step guide, I highly recommend you check out gardentherapy.ca it is amazing!
