My motto has always been "I am One, I am Many"

Welcome....I’m Glad You’re Here!

I've always embraced a creative lifestyle. Even from childhood..music, dance, and art were my favourite playgrounds. At home..I grew up immersed in the sounds and dancing to Motown, funk, and rock; while MuchMusic videos opened my eyes to all kind of new artists, music, and video style concepts. That was the start of my love for set design.

This passion for music and movement led to an incredible journey. At 15, I made a bit of history as Ontario’s first female busperson. From there, I ventured into multiple industry roles..including DJ’ing and ended up at the iconic Phoenix Concert Theatre and Liberty Entertainment venues, where I engaged in dancing, directing, designing, decorating and coordinating. For a large part of it’s time, The Phoenix stood out as the only nightclub with its own art department, and we brought events to life with elaborate sets, murals, and themed decor, inspiring other venues, corporations, event producers to enlist our creativity.
Throughout the years, I’ve taken on various roles...dancer, model, art director, stage manager, costume designer, muralist, casting agent, producer, and more. Each position allowed me to explore new ways to connect, collaborate and create with remarkable creative individuals. Helping to shine a light on our local talents and creatives was what made my ventures so special.  

Eventually, I shifted my focus to cabaret and burlesque, producing my own shows, designing costumes, booking talent, and choreographing performances. Over time, my emphasis transitioned from producing shows to creating cabaret inspired products. That has evloved into my handmade offerings today...jewelry, art, and designs that I now share at markets, pop-ups, and online.
Today, I find myself in a new exciting chapter...slightly less frantic but equally as fun and fulfilling.
I continue to create, collaborate, and fuel my passion for bringing imagination to life.

  • “Jojo’s artwork is so beautiful! I first fell in love with her work when I spotted this gorgeous charcuterie board, which had the perfect pop of color for my kitchen. It was functional and such a great piece of art that I could hang up on display too. When the holidays rolled around, I knew that I could find the perfect gifts at Pourgirlarts. At this time, I discovered her trivets. Each one was so unique. My family and friends loved them. I recently got a stunning set of coasters for myself and now I can’t wait to check out her new jewellery line!~ Juliet

  • Hey beautiful sister! I just wanted to say how much I loved my Christmas gifts that Matt acquired from you. Everything was so bespoke and unique. My favorite item was the wall plaque and jewelry! You are truly an amazing artist and I will treasure them forever!Thank you for putting your heart and soul into every piece. 
    Love you, Laura N.
