This month, artist Gabriella Howes invites participants to collaborate over the course of the month to create a wall of small joys; draw, paint and print things that make the day better, and leave them on the shared art wall for others to see. Sometimes it is the smallest things that can make the biggest impact!

Gabriella is an artist and educator working in Windsor. She is a recent graduate of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and in 2021 graduated from the Faculty of Education at the University of Windsor. Gabriella has a love of all things miniature and whimsical, which is what inspired her to start painting paintings that are 2”x2”. She works mainly with watercolours and sometimes dips back into oil.

Gabriella is involved in the local art community through Vanguard Youth Arts Collective, and has been serving as the group’s secretary since 2020. She enjoys working with youth to create opportunities for creativity and community.
