Featured Artist of the Month Maya McKibbin shared in her interview with SAD web editor Becca Clarkson that growing up on the West Coast has certainly influenced her art: “I think it also plays a lot into identity. And I have a lot of questions about identity as a queer person and as an Indigenous person who grew up on the West Coast in a territory I’m not from.”


Maya's illustration Seal Woman inspired this month’s nature-bound playlist. This mix is made up of tunes from Indigenous musicians and gives you an opportunity to connect with storytellers and the unceded territories of the West through your headphones. Stay home, and stay safe!

MEET APRIL ARTIST OF THE MONTH: MAYA MCKIBBIN

“I feel like I kind of cringe when I think of myself as an artist. I see the term artist as a very fluid thing, and I’m very structured in what I think of and what I do. This is very much my career, so that makes me feel like less of an artist because it’s part of my sustainability. I’ve been having these feelings a lot these days in the corona lockdown. I work and I work, and I can’t go out after, but I don’t feel like drawing more because I just did that all day. I’m finding it hard to find the creative energy to dig down and do music and writing, even though it feels like now’s the time. “

Featured Artist of the Month, Deuphine Apedaile describes in her interview with Becca Clarkson how she, from a very early age, started to explore how the term 'Artist' played into her identity and interest of capturing little parts of her body. Deuphine's photos have become a way for her to connect with other women and create a safe space where they get to be free and reclaim what it means to be powerful, sexy, and soft.

The photo chosen to inspire this month's mix is earth-shaking. The fire – The wind – The water, and the body-ody-ody, bearing witness to the fact that women are some kind of REAL magic. I'm willing to call it the rebirth of witches because the tunes will have all the elements moving with empowering verses. It's time to get undressed, walk barefoot, drink in the moon, and be magick – this is bitchin witchy!

xoxo,
Lisa

Meet October’s Featured Artist: Lindsey Hampton 

For this artist, graphic design came first, and ceramics came later. Lindsey Hampton took up a six-week ceramics course as a hobby, and what started as “just something to do” evolved into a business selling ceramics both online and through local and international stockists such as Vancouver Special, Easy Tiger Goods (Toronto), and Coming Soon (New York City).
