Hand-dyed and hand-sewn silk ribbons are strung with a tiny 1"x1" print of this original oil painting. Peaceful blues, with hints of glimmering yellow and surrounded by symbolic Lotus petals, she looks to the future with hope. I've named her the Necklace of Hope, with the wish that this wearable art will be a reminder to you to hold onto hope and positivity. * * * *#uniquegifts #staysafe #shopfromhome #artjewellery #artjewelry #artjewels #artjewelery #artwithmeaning #inspiriingart #inspiringartist #inspiringartwork #giftswithmeaning #inspiringgifts #giftsforher #giftgiving #hope #artwithaheart #necklace #artjewelry #artjewellery #silkribbonjewely 
I just want to say thank you to everyone supporting small businesses this year! When you support a small business you are supporting families. You are supporting hours of learning and dedication to a craft. You are supporting the process of bringing beauty into the world. You are supporting a person. So thank you to everyone who has supported me this year as an artistic small business! 🙏🙏🙏💕 #thankyou #thankyouforyoursupport #smallbusinesssupport #smallbusinesssaturday #smallbusinesswomen #smallbusinesssaturday2020 
It’s raining here today. The snow has melted and in its place darkness, and gray - and so begins a Canadian winter. Kind of like life. Some days it’s easy to find the beauty and gratitude in everything, and others it’s just a soggy day and you’re doing groceries and laundry, and anxious to get back to the projects in your studio. So while I’m doing my chores, I’ll just leave you a snippet of me painting this piece, and hope the colors and flowers bring a little joy to your day 😊 “Dawning” 12x12 on canvas Available in my shop. * * 
For many of you, it's a week to contemplate all of the things we are thankful for. And for most of us, we are forced to do this more or less alone this year, or at least more alone than usual - and that is hard. Yet what amazes me is that I see you rising above the stress from the situation we are all in. Creating more online spaces to connect, figuring out new ways to do the day-to-day, pivoting, reinventing. The human spirit is surprisingly resilient. Yes, there are days that we all just want to stay in bed and forget everything. But somehow, once we allow the bad feelings a little bit of time, our brains and hearts begin to figure out solutions to the challenges in front of us. As the saying goes, "hope dies last". Today I am grateful for hope in a better tomorrow because I see so many warm, open, grateful, beautiful, and strong people determined to keep going and make things better one step at a time. Wherever you are today, and whomever you are being thankful with, I wish you peace and hope. Warm hugs, Serena * * * * *

As most of you probably know, I live in Canada. Contrary to some beliefs, you can't ski here all year round, in fact, summer days here can reach over 100 degrees with humidity, and that gives us lots of beach days in our clean northern lakes. But the truth is winters are long, and I do not like the cold. So I've learned the importance of dressing warm and embracing the seasons. Winters here can be exceptionally beautiful! Autumns are full of breathtaking colors from the changing leaves, and well, the beauty of Spring and Summer speaks for itself. And so in the spirit of embracing the seasons and finding solace in nature, I brought back some classic pieces and will be offering them at an incredible discount tomorrow only! It's my "Stay Safe Black Friday, but it's Really Only Monday Sale!" These 5x7 inch Archival prints will be $20 CAD each,. That includes taxes and shipping! (Regular $30 each) Or embrace all the seasons, and get all 4 for $75 including taxes and shipping no surprise charges at checkout! And for tomorrow only, if you purchase one of my Necklaces of Hope, you will also receive a set of all 4 seasons greeting cards - a $27 value. Three styles of the necklace to choose from: silver chain, Hand Dyed Ribbon, and Satin Ribbon Cord. So stay home if you can, stay safe, and shop the sale early so I can ship your gifts to arrive on time for giving! The sale starts at 6:00 a.m. EST Monday, Nov 23 and runs until 600 a.m. EST, Tuesday, Nov 24 Do you have very defined seasons where you live? and what do you to embrace the weather that you get handed? * * * 
I'm so grateful for Sunday's. Honestly, my to-do list is still a mile long, but there's just something about the quietness that a Sunday affords us. I give myself permission to sleep in, spend a little more time with my morning cup of coffee, make dinner with my son, plan for the week, and get to maybe one or two items on the never-ending list. I'm also grateful for this new backyard, little bits of forest were left when the house was built and I go on the trails daily with our new puppy and my children. If you look really close you can see that I'm wearing my latest project in necklace form, the reminder to stay positive and keep growing. Speaking of staying positive I just read a powerful and intriguing post by a wonderful lady I met last year in California. Swipe to see @drshawnhorn 's post and read the words from @lukedrapertherapy that I'm going to try using to help me stay positive this week - since I sadly usually say the opposite to myself and need to change it up!! * * * * * #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #youarenotalone #youareworthy #youarepowerful #youarestrong #youarebeautiful #youareenough❤ #womenempoweringwomen #womenhelpingwomen #womenwhopaint #strongwomen #strongtogether #strongwomenrock #womenartists #womenartistsofinstagram #femaleartists #femaleart #femaleartistsofinstagram #empoweringothers #empoweringgirls #empoweringwomen #empoweringwomennow #empoweringpeople #powerfulart #emotionalart 
If there is anything that 2020 has taught us, it's that nothing is certain. This includes mail delivery. Because I want you to have plenty of time for items to arrive for your loved ones or yourself - and I know a lot of you are stuck under new stay-at-home orders or deciding to stay home to simply be safe - I've decided to offer early "Black Friday" prices this Monday!

My only sale for the rest of the year will go into effect Monday morning at 6:00 a.m. EST and last until Tuesday at 6:00 a.m. EST to account for all of my friends in different time zones! Can't wait to see you there! * * * 
Here's to jumping in and trying something new. A little something created with my hands and from my heart. From a painting about the new beginnings that arise from the hard moments we've all been through and are going through this year - I created a little something as a reminder that there are reasons to look forward in hope. This little necklace holds a lot of meaning for me. I hope that it can do the same for you, and brighten your day. The back of the Silver Satin Chain option adjusts from 14 - 22 inches with two pretty Sterling Silver beads to gently finish off the ends. * * * 
It's open! The Gift Giving Shop is now open and ready for finding those little gems for the ones you love, or to just keep for yourself! I'm really proud of these little necklaces. They are being created with my own hands and full of love. They are inspired by the original oil painting with a message of hope and inspiration! The pendant is silver plated and this one is hung on a 20" Sterling Silver Chain, there’s also a Silver Satin Cord option, and a Hand-dyed Silk Ribbon option. Each one will be delivered in its own sturdy box, and pre-wrapped for easy gift-giving, to your mailbox, or theirs. ...and you can now shop right from Instagram, just click the little shopping bag icon!
