 👩‍🎨  Local Artist Celebrates Community and Creativity This Christmas Season

Brandi of Creative Capricorn Artworks brings a festive spirit and local charm to New Westminster this season. Known for her nature-inspired artwork, Brandi has added handcrafted Christmas decorations to her repertoire, using reclaimed wood to create unique, eco-friendly designs.

This year’s collection includes adorable gnomes crafted from a maple branch that fell during a neighborhood windstorm over a year ago. Typically, Brandi uses old Christmas trees for her creations, allowing the wood to dry for months before transforming it into art. Each piece is meticulously sliced, sanded, and painted, with her latest gnome designs bringing a playful personality to the holiday season.

Beyond the holiday projects, Brandi is celebrating another milestone—her New West Postcard has been selected for the Tourism New West Passport program. This initiative encourages locals and visitors to explore the city, collecting points at various locations to redeem for prizes. Brandi’s postcard captures the essence of New Westminster, further connecting her work to the community she loves.

“I’m so grateful for the support this little passion project has received,” Brandi shares. “Every time my work makes someone happy, it makes my heart happy, too.”

As the holidays approach, Brandi continues to dream up creative ideas, celebrating the intersection of art, community, and sustainability. Whether through her festive gnomes or her postcard’s inclusion in the Tourism New West program, she’s making New Westminster a little brighter, one project at a time. Check out Brandi’s website now.
