Sunshine and Busy Days

Vancouver and British Columbia Aprons - which perfectly compliment my Matching Tea Towel Designs - are now in stock at the Studio and here, in my online Shop. They are made by the same wonderful company who make my other kitchen textiles so the quality and colour is fabulous - I'm excited to see how you like them!

My new stickers are also in the studio and shown here on the website. So far, I have fun images of several Vancouver Icons, Canadian Animals and some others depicting further afield, but the range is growing fast and I will add new stickers frequently.

The new 2027 Wall Calendar and Stand Up Desk Calendars are now in stock and the Small Coil Calendar should be here by early September.

And Finally, my new Christmas Cards will be available in September too - a new 20 Card Assortment and some classics will return.

LATE SUMMER / FALL STUDIO HOURS

Monday and Tuesday 10am - 4pm

Wednesday - Friday 10am - 5pm

Saturday and Sunday 11am - 5pm

Please note: There will be a few days later in September when the Studio will be closed while Yesare is away and I have family visiting from out of town - more updates later.

TO ALL MY WONDERFUL US CUSTOMERS

SADLY BECAUSE OF THE REMOVAL OF THE DE MINIMIS RULE REGARDING SHIPMENTS AND NOW THE IMPOSITION OF 50% TARIFFS ON MOST OF WHAT I CREATE AND SELL, I AM STOPPING SHIPPING TO THE US FOR THE TIME BEING. UNFORTUNATELY I AM UNABLE TO ABSORB THE ADDITIONAL COSTS BEING CHARGED WHEN SHIPPING AND I FEEL THAT MOST CUSTOMERS WOULD BE UNLIKELY TO WANT TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL 50% ON TOP OF THE COST OF MY PRODUCTS. I REALLY HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SHIP TO YOU AGAIN SOON!

About Hilary

Soon after moving from the UK to Vancouver in 1987, Hilary picked up a paintbrush as a way of getting to know her new hometown. She had no idea then that she would be spending the next thirty years recording Vancouver’s ever-changing neighbourhoods and vistas in vibrant watercolour and Indian Ink. Her early paintings, which focused on the city’s historic buildings and local haunts, may have given way to wider panoramas of the city and its environs, but her images remain just as colourful and detailed. The city continues to grow and change, providing her plenty of new images to capture!
Hilary’s original paintings start off as detailed pen-and-ink drawings, after which Gouache (opaque watercolour) is added (sometimes along with watersoluble wax crayon, pencils and pigmented pen). The detail is finally added with India ink in a steel-tipped technical pen.
