Celebrating Leah Dorion
In the heart of Saskatchewan, near the serene beauty of Prince Albert, a creative force like no other thrives – Leah Dorion, an interdisciplinary Metis artist. Her connection to this land is profound, and it's a privilege to shine a spotlight on her incredible journey, especially in the context of the captivating "Singing to the Aspen" collection.
The "Singing to the Aspen" collection is a mesmerizing embodiment of Leah's artistic brilliance. The heart of this collaboration lies within an apron adorned with this enchanting artwork. "Singing to the Aspen" captures the very essence of spring, symbolizing renewal, and paying heartfelt tribute to the strength and resilience of working Métis women in Saskatchewan.
As we've had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with Leah, we've come to appreciate the profound impact of "Singing to the Aspen." This beautiful artwork resonates with a unique energy – a celebration of life, growth, and the timeless connection between humanity and nature. The aspen tree, symbolic of community and interconnectedness, stands as a powerful representation of Leah's deep-rooted values.
Furthermore, our collaboration extends beyond the apron. The collection includes a 4x4 wood-framed hand-pressed print of "Singing to the Aspen," allowing you to bring this exquisite artwork into your own space. A pressed microfiber waffle tea towel completes the set, making it a tangible way to immerse yourself in Leah's vision of beauty and renewal.
Leah's commitment to preserving and sharing Metis culture shines brilliantly in "Singing to the Aspen." Through this collection, she manages to encapsulate the very spirit of Saskatchewan, capturing its natural beauty and the strength of its people. The apron, meticulously crafted, carries the resonance of SaskAbilities, an organization empowering individuals of all skill sets, who played a crucial role in its creation.Join us in celebrating Leah Dorion, her profound love for Saskatchewan, and the beauty of the "Singing to the Aspen" collection. Embrace the spirit of renewal and inclusivity, as we continue to collaborate with Leah on this meaningful journey. Explore her art, be inspired by her deep connection to the land, and let "Singing to the Aspen" become a cherished piece of not just artwork, but a symbol of unity, strength, and the enduring spirit of Saskatchewan.

I love Regina's Cathedral Village
Regina’s Cathedral Village has always been one of my favorite places, and it’s easy to see why. The neighborhood feels like a cozy retreat right in the middle of the city, with tree-lined streets and charming shops around every corner. What I love most is how walkable it is—whether I’m heading to meet friends for coffee or simply out for a casual stroll, everything feels close by, and it’s a pleasure just to walk around.
My experience interviewing Joel Plaskett
Reflecting on my day with Joel Plaskett, it truly stands out as one of the best interviews I’ve ever experienced. It was a refreshing, cool day in Regina, and I was excited to go to The Artesian for a conversation with one of Canada’s most legendary musicians for Get Chatty with Kathy. However, the day held an extra, delightful surprise that I didn’t see coming.
