Sunshine and Busy Days

Summer is here and my new goodies are arriving !

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 Stand-Up Desk Calendar is already here and the Wall and small Coil Bound Calendars are on their way - hopefully here in time for the Harmony Arts Festival at the beginning of August.

I'll be taking part in both Ladner Village Market for the Summer Season and also the wonderful Harmony Arts Festival in West Vancouver over the BC Day Long Weekend. More details to follow!

A NOTE TO ALL MY LOVELY US CUSTOMERS:

OWING TO THE CURRENT TARIFF UNCERTAINTY AND THE REMOVAL OF THE DE MINIMIS RULE REGARDING SHIPMENTS IT IS HARD TO PREDICT SHIPPING COSTS FOR SENDING GOODS TO THE US. I HAVE BEEN FINDING THAT FRAMED PRINTS/GICLEES DO NOT SEEM TO REQUIRE ADDITIONAL DUTIES BUT MANY OTHER PRODUCTS DO. I AM HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU ON SHIPPING GOODIES AND SUPPLYING ACCURATE SHIPPING COSTS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, SO PLEASE EMAIL ME DIRECTLY THROUGH THE CONTACTS PAGE AND WE CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE!

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.
