Sneak Peak! I am slowly creating the visions for the opening of my Studio Gallery for this September. In addition to art pieces, I will be creating and selling hand dyed papers for mixed media kits both in person and my online store. Sentiments using the typewriter will be included :) I wish you all an amazing week!

Although May 2025 was a month of achieving goals and dreams, I knew I would also be having a major surgery. I’ll be healing for a while but I won’t let it stop me from visioning my new artist chapter. I started my new artist blog that shares my visions which is opening my studio this September! Art sessions, supplies and demonstrations. That’s my hope. If you feel inclined, feel free to read my artist blog: https://www.deannajosephson.com/blog #okanaganartist #canadianartist #bcartist #fineart #oilpainting #arthealsthesoul #artdreams #artistblogger

Last day of spring break. I enjoyed zoning out and making some mixed media papers to calm my racing mind. I love adding the flora and leaves to the papers and taking pics of them. Perhaps to use them in some future projects. Have an amazing week! . . . #mixedmediapaper #mixedmedia #natureartist #funart #healingthroughart #handmade #naturecrafts #earthart
When I lived in Gibsons, BC, I did a lot of nuno felting. I just love the earth feel and essence of it. I have since been adding small pieces into the mixed media and have included nature elements. The words are created from my new/used vintage typewriter! As I assemble these two beauties, I am still deciding whether to structure them together or seperate. hmmmm Spring break has been great with the kids, spring cleaning and creating! So much to be grateful for! Have a great weekend friends! . . . #mixedmediacollage #nunofelting #fibreart #natureartist #finearts #canadianartist🇨🇦 #bcartist #okanaganartist #modernart #mixedmedia #visualartist
Time management has always been a struggle for me! However, thus far we are on track for my May solo exhibition at Gallery Vertigo and for that alone I feel I’ve succeeded! For variety, I’m adding few smaller 8x12 in works that will be included! Still so much left to do but I am so loving the process and the ride! 🥰 Have a great weekend friends!! . . . #soloexhibition #artgallery #galleryvertigo #oilpainting #oilandcoldwax #abstractlandscapes #canadianartist #bcartist #okanaganartist #fineart #happyartist #atmosphericart #contemporaryart

Well, you never know unless you try! I applied for this last fall and got through to the second ballot nominee placement for my video work. I'm happy with that! I'm so very proud of my husband, @krisandersmusic who is also a second ballot nominee for Roots Artist of the Year! As our children get a bit older and we can find a babysitter, we will be able to collaborate more! :) . . . #singersongwriter #folkartist #altcountrymusic #videoartist #visualartist #bccma #canadianartist #bcartist #okanaganart #songwriterlife
It’s been a long time coming!! To share the stage with one of the most poetic singer songwriter finger picking guitar players I know, Rose Kirchner. As our lives from the Sunshine Coast, BC took different paths, over a decade later we’ve now reconnected! We are going to offer a rare performance in late May. I say rare because it may only happen this one time as she is travelling to our town for this! We are working out the details of when, where and why! Stay tuned for details and tickets. I am over the moon for this!! #singersongwriter #folksingers #femalesongwriter #concert #altfolk #femaleguitarplayer

Happy to share a few small glimpses of small oil and cold wax works and studies for my upcoming show (yikes) closer and closer to May! The top left is a photo of our beautiful Okanagan which always inspires me especially at dawn and dusk. Hope you are all doing well despite the cold snap in weather!

A small preview of a larger piece for my upcoming art exhibition! This work has flora as well as blended photography textures used from the elevator in the school I work at. I don’t know of many elementary schools that have elevators. It’s an incredibly old French school with much history and perhaps some haunts? 😉 Have a wonderful remainder of the week!! #flowers #flora #bcartist #okanagan #okanaganartist #canadianartist #digitalart #digitalphotography #digitalcollage #floraart
Exciting Announcement! My solo exhibition “Dark Skies and Flora” proposal for Gallery Vertigo has been accepted! This will be for May 2025”. It is fast approaching and to be transparent, I am quite nervous! Fearing others opinions offers much anxiety for me especially as an introvert and Cptsd survivor. However, as I rephrase these fears to, “now is the time! I am capable! I have unique gifts to share with the world!” are my new mantras as I prepare my collection with a grateful heart and model to my children, they can too despite life’s challenges. If you have words of wisdom please feel free to share!! . . . #visualartist #okanaganartist #canadianartist #singersongwriter #soloexhibition #fineart #contemporaryartist
Our first time up back up to the ski hill for kids ski lessons. Personally, I don’t ski, so why not take some pictures while I wait! Happy 2025 at Silver Star! #silverstarmountain #vernonbctourism #familytime #skilessons #mountainphotography
Happy New Year! I have been wanting to launch my freelance services for musicians for awhile. This year I’m going to give it a go! I do much of this for my husband’s music career as well as my own.
