I am so pleased that people are digging my shirts! Here are the designs I am presently selling at the Halifax Farmers Market Saturday mornings (7am-1pm). If you like them and want to receive the email newsletter I am developing to keep people in the loop with new designs, enter your email in the box to the left and hit subscribe!

Thanks for coming out to the opening! For those of you who took home prints or shirts, hope you are enjoying them.

It’s great to be busy and feeling well again, although it seems like the days are rushing past me. I’ve been meaning to update and add photos of my most recent prints for quite sometime. I have finally added ‘Canadiana’ and ‘We have lived here’ in the artwork section.

I am working on my third t-shirt design which will hopefully be ready in time for the market this Saturday. It is a two colour print that I am VERY excited about. I think it will be a hit. I also have four baby tees I am printing as a test. There seems to have been a bit of a baby boom, babies are everywhere. So get your wallets out mom and dad! These shirts are going to be uber cute.

In my plans for the future is a another new site design. ANOTHER one, I know. It’s hard to know what will work until you try it. I am planning to unite good-day and stodesigns under one roof. I haven’t worked out the structure yet, but it will be a general Anna Stowe site. This will allow me to make use of annastowe.com and which I have owned for years now and haven’t really put to use. Hopefully this will be in place by this summer.

My brothers band The Repercussionists have just recently launched a new self titled album and are planning a mini tour from Halifax to Toronto the first week on May! Stay up to date at www.therepercussionists.com

I’ve always wanted a table at the Halifax Farmers Market. I talked with a friend of mine, the talented Geordan Moore (www.whostolemybike.com) and we decided to give it a try. Yesterday was our first day there – thank you for making us feel so welcome! We were very well accepted and will try to attend again next week if space permits. Unfortunately we don’t know where we will be located but have a look around and try to find us!

Hope to see you next week!

Lovely Peter Farmer of The Paragon Theatre invited me to hang my work for the month of February in on their café wall! I hung my work on the generous 30 foot white wall last week and it will be on display for the entire month. The opening of the show is THIS TUESDAY February 9th from 8pm-midnight. If you are in the Halifax area please come out and have a look! The mediums in the show vary – acrylic paintings, prints, ink and watercolor and one embroidery piece.

Below is the Paragon’s calendar for the month of February. Lots of great art and music events… be sure to catch Peter’s live painting event Feb 13th!

The annual Pre-Shrunk Exhibit at Argyle Fine Art opened last week with a great crowd, despite the wretched weather! This show is dedicated to tiny works all measuring roughly 4×5 inches. I submitted two paintings for the show. Photos below!

I’ve been so busy between design projects, art shows and life that I haven’t posted photos of this event yet. Well here they are! Thank you to Peter Farmer of The Paragon Theatre for making this event happen – and inviting me to participate!

The Paragon Theatre Industry Night features the ZODIAC show.

12 painters collaborate to paint the full zodiac live during a party atmosphere. With The industry night DJ’s and these 12 talented painters this Tuesday night will be mental fun.

The Painters will be lined up in a giant ring and will be assigned one zodiac sign each. They will only have a few hours to make these blank canvases into celestial symbols. The finished works will be for sale the night of show. S

My design “Flock” for Red Spruce Handwork Rugs is featured in Azure Magazine! I am totally thrilled. It has always been a dream to be featured in print :)
