Ground Zero Printmakers Society

The Bean Around the World Cafe is one of those places that I go to when I am in extreme need of good coffee. It's also a place I go to when I feel insecure and am in need of some comforting. Maybe it's the aroma of organic fair trade coffee combined with a bohemian atmosphere and soft mood lighting. The place feels young and old at the same time - young because there are always students nursing coffee with their books and/or laptops; old - because it's one of the original buildings built in the oldest Chinatown in Canada.


I decided to join an artist run printmakers studio called Ground Zero Printmakers Society. It is run by Alain and Victoria from their own artist studio in Chinatown. The Bean asked if Ground Zero would be able to provide some work to substitute for a lastminute cancellation. Ground Zero said yes and I was fortunate enough to have been able to submit a monoprint that I did a few weeks ago inspired by my cat.
