Hello! I'm Patti

I write, illustrate and publish
books for adults and children.
I also sell my original works of art.

Welcome to my blog
that is a lot like a buffet;
a bit of this, a bit of that.
Mostly about arts, culture,
life in Canada and a fruit cocktail
of other topics.
In a nutshell, I write
and publish posts that I
find interesting at any given moment.
I hope you enjoy it's randomness!

I also pen a Substack here.

My 2 Favorite Quotes


“Well, I suppose nothing is meant to last forever.
We have to make room for other people.
It’s a wheel.
You get on, you have to go to the end.
And then somebody has the same opportunity
to go to the end and so on.”

– Vivian Maier, Photographer


“My dream is to walk around the world. 

A smallish backpack, all essentials neatly in place. 

A camera. A notebook. A traveling paint set. 

A hat. Good shoes. A nice pleated (green?) skirt 

for the occasional seaside hotel afternoon dance.”


― Maira Kalman

(I'd add mobile phone and peachy pink lipstick)
