In honour of International Women's Day this Friday, here's one of Natalie Very B's gorgeous everyday goddesses. She painted it in 2020 as part of that year's crop of signal boxes prettied up through the city's Outside the Box program. Her boldly beautiful depictions of body positivity and self-love caught the attention of CBC and in 2020 they commissioned her to create a CBC Arts logo for Women's History Month. You can check out that logo, and read the article and interview here.

I know that it's not spring yet and that there are still plenty of cold days ahead, but the weather on the weekend provided a little taste of things to come. Soon we'll all have the option to stop and smell the flowers. This mural is by illustrator Natalie V. Bochenska, also known as Natalie Very B.
