Amazing one for #MusicWomenWednesday. Japanese-Canadian singer/songwriter Saya Gray put out her magical debut album 'Saya' last Friday. Folk, alt-pop + rock sensibilities, synthy electronica & heavier guitar sometimes too. Saya's voice and finger picking- wow. 🤯 Unique melodies and sounds. A contender.

Also, don't forget to support local & Canadian retailers while you're shopping for art supplies! 🇨🇦
Here in Edmonton, a couple of my favourites are The Paint Spot (https://paintspot.ca) and The Gilded Rabbit (https://www.thegildedrabbit.ca) - the staff in both are super knowledgeable and will point you in the direction of yet more Made in Canada supplies.
DeSerres (https://www.deserres.ca) is also a Canadian company with stores across the country.
The Paint Spot is run by artists passionate about fine art materials, generous with their knowlege, and committed to buidling an dynamic art community. Visit in person or online to see the large selection of diverse art supplies.
So over the past week I've been researching and putting together a list of Canada-made art supplies. 🎨 🇨🇦 (thanks to everyone who reached out with their favourite brands! 🙏)
